Abel Tasman!!



Waiting on our water taxi to take us to Onetahuti for the start of day 1!!

Water taxi being pulled down the beach and launched by tractor.



The water taxi ride is always an adventure and the girls were quite vocal - in this short video clip you can hear the driver yell at them to "shut up" - so funny!



Disembarking in Onetahi
The first day we walked to Bark Bay and then stayed in a hut for the night.




Early morning in the hut.



View from the Bark Bay hut.


And we're off!! Walking today to Anchorage.



Anchorage Hut - one of the newer ones .

So it was not the best weather forecast the day we walked to Anchorage and right after we got there it started pouring!! Soon enough everyone walking or kayaking or camping was trying to squeeze into the common area of the hut - it was a hot sweaty mess. Katie didn't mind squeezing next to the cute boys though.

We played a LOT of cards!!

After many hours there was finally a break in the rain so the girls had a very chilly swim - notice those watching are in coats!



The next morning the view from the hut was stunning!! We backtracked a little to go see Cleopatra Pools and then water taxied out.

Heading to the falls.


Shortcut?



After seeing the falls the girls soaked in some sun while waiting for the water taxi.
