The next stop for me on the Magic Bus was Nelson. I plan to walk around Abel Tasman National Park - apparantly the views are stunning and well worth the four hour tramp.

I completed the four hour walk in three hours and it was really pretty but I can't help resenting the fact that I had been made to pay for this outing when I had seen it all before for free in Australia, in warmer weather conditions, at Noosa National Park. However, looking on the brightside, it gave me something to do whilst staying in the quiet town of Nelson and the walk was nice; being amongst the rainforest trees and every now and again catching a glimpse of the golden sands and turquoise waters below and sitting on the beach at Ancourage Bay playing with the sand.

Although beautiful, this outting hasn't taken my heart and given it to New Zealand just yet, maybe my next stop will help me fall in love with the country as it shouldn't compare to anything I have ever seen or done before...
