Abel Tasman national park

First of all–all the national parks here are free. FREE. That’s right, no paying. It’s great.

We drove up to the coast and walked part of the Coastal Track–it is so beautiful. Then we drove all the way to Picton that night so we could catch a ferry the next morning, which concluded our trip in the South Island.

The South Island is beautiful, and still, and really colorful–the black water of Milford Sound, the bright green of the hills, the turquoise glacier lakes, the white sheep, the deep green of the rain forest ferns, the clear blue of ocean, the shades of green jade… we were sad to leave it.
