Abel Tasman National Park

After the scenic plane flight over the Marlborough Sounds from Wellington to Picton, we picked up the biggest Stray bus ever, dwarving the Kiwi Experience buses, and headed to Old Macdonald's Farm - yay. Most people had planned a walk through the National Park, but I decided to take a tour by boat of the place, so Kelly, Thomas and I got on the catamaran which took us to see some interesting landmarks such as Split Apple Rock and a couple of islands home to long gone Maori tribes.

On the way down to Barrytown we had a chance before daylight disappeared to check out the layered or 'pancake' rocks at Punakaiki; more weird rock formations to add to New Zealand's abundant collection.
