Abel Tasman
Yesterday we spent the day kayaking the Abel Tasman National Park. Absolutely spectacular! We cruised the gorgeous New Zealand coast and riveled at the amazing green water. Highlights included paddling up on a cute little blue penguin which most people usually dont get to see. It was the first penguin Jenny and I have ever seen out in the wild. Way cool! Supposedly there are many more penguins of a different type down south in Dunedin. On the kayak trip we got to stop at several great beaches most of which completely dried up at low tide. A few days ago we were in Kaikoura famous for its dolphins. Though we didn’t actually make out on the water to see or swim with them, we did get to hike through several seal colonies. We were lucky I guess since none of the seals decided to attack us (which I guess actually happens). For the most part though, we just veged out in this relaxing little city.
So this is our first attempt at uploading pictures so hopefully we can get this to work. Once we get it figured out, we’ll put more up. Hope everyone is well!

Have I told you guys yet that I hate you?
I’m glad you didn’t manage to make out on the water… that might have traumatized the little penguins a little…
😉
So I would have to agree with Liz here on how much I hate you both … :o)
I hope that you guys took a picutre of the penguin.
Sounds like you guys are having a great time.
Enjoy yourselves and be safe.

P.S. Steve, quite impressed about your packing list. And Jenny, I really am impressed about only 3 pairs of shoes for you.
