Abel Tasman

Yeah you might wonder who that is...well it is the name of the Dutch explorer that first discovered New Zealand. He named it New Zealand after a district in Holland...yeah Zealand. Anyway, today I went to a national park named after him. Our trip for 200 dollars consisted of 5 hours of walking to a spectacular beach where we spent the night in a tent. We took the kayaks back to the place we started. A great feeling to have lunch on a golden beach after 2 hours of paddling. I didn't go for a swim though since the water was around 14 degrees.

My journey continues tomorrow!

The name Tasman is a bit like Tasmania. What about that?
