Abel Tasman Track




finally we've done a 2 days Trip - Able Tasman.
We took a Boat Taxi to our walking starting point and we started walking and walking and walking. The first day we were walking for about 5 hours. We camped at night and the second day we walked for another 5 hours. The most amazing thing about this sea, is that the High tide reaches about 5 meters higher than in low tide. It's the highest in the world!!!! To give you a notion of it - we would see in the high tide a boat floating on the water and the next day during low tide, it would be standing exactly at the same spot only completely dry on the sand. Unbelievable sight.
The whole trip I was with 7 kilos on my back and Mushi with about 10 Kilos. Can you imagine? However, the amazing views made us forget we we carrying such heavy weights on our backs.
The Tasman Sea with the green mountain and the walking through the thick bushes made it certainly the best 2 days trip we've had up until now (although it's also the only one :-)).
