Able Tasman

Day one: So we woke up at 7 am. We had set an alarm for 6:16 am! So far not a good start since we had to catch our ferry at 7:30ish. We got up had showers and breakfast. Then walked to the information site where a van picked us up to take us to the ferry. We got on and went to Bark bay. On the way there we saw some really cute seals. Once we got to Bark bay we walked to Torrent bay. On the way we got to walk on the swing bridge which was really cool and a bit scary with a big pack. Once we got to Torrent bay we stopped and had our lunch. There we decided to do the bush walk around the bay instead of walking through the bay during low tide. After an hour we decided to go to Cleopatras pool which was just 10 minuets from the main track. We stayed about 20 minuets and then decided we'd go back the next day. We walked to our first camp site which was called Anchorage. We went to the beach and swam. Had a nap. A very LONG nap heehee. Then woke up made our supper and then went back to bed.

Day Two: We woke up and had breakfast and then went back to Cleopatras Pool. This time we where prepared with snacks and swim suites. In the pool there is a natural water slide! Pretty awesome. To see a video of me going down it go to my Facebook page. :). After about an hour we walked back to our camp, had lunch, packed up, and started off again. We walked to Akersten Bay and set up yet again. Had a nap. Yet again. It was a lot like my hike to Grey Owls Cabin back home. Pre and post naps for everything :). We really did nothing else that night other than taking a short walk to a near by look out. Then slept.

Day Three: Up we got and off we went. It was a lovely walk until my feet decided to do a dance that my body was not prepared for and I took a nasty spill. Have a nice gash on my knee. If it wasn't for Graeme I would've been stuck on my side until someone helped me up. A little further up the track we stopped and cleaned t our a bit and put a nice bandage on it. Fairly shortly after we made it to our last camping spot called Apple Tree Bay. The name is very deceiving since there was no apple tree in sight. We napped sat around and did nothing.

Day Four: Our last day on the beautiful Abel Tasman track. We took our time packing up since the walk to where the ferry was to get us was very short. In that time though I took my nice bandage off too see that it was pussing a icky yellowish liquid. Graeme assures me that it is very normal. I let it air out a bit and then put another bandage on. We then started packing up and happened to get stung by a bee. I have never, to my recollection, been stung by a bee. If I was scared of them before I am now terrified. It HURTS! We then went to Coquille Bay where our ferry picked us up. And that brings me to the end of my Abel Tasman adventure. Pictures will be posted in its own post.
