Today was a day filled with exploring the nearby Abel Tasman National Park. I wanted to go kayaking around the park but that option was $170 and I figured it wasn’t worth it as I have done a fair bit of kayaking in my day. I chose the cheaper route and took an aqua taxi to a point in the park and did some hiking! While we were on the water taxi we saw both New Zealand fur seals and dolphins! We didn’t realize the duration or difficulty of the hike we were about to do. We ended up hiking for over 4 hours and the hills going both up and down were MASSIVE. There were some hills where we had to stop at points and take a short break because they were so steep and long we questioned if we would make it! We made it just fine of course, and were absolutely exhausted by the end of it.
We got picked up from another point by the aqua taxi and taken back to the town where we were picked up by a bus and taken back to our accommodation. We got back sooner than planned and because I was quite sore and exhausted I made use of our jacuzzi! It was so wonderful! It was the perfect day to have a jacuzzi in our accommodation. That night most people were so exhausted from enjoying the national park that we did not do much of anything. We enjoyed watching one of the boys with extremely curly hair get his hair straightened and then my hair was curled afterwards. I didn’t have anything else to do so I thought, why not? We all turned in for an early night after that.
