Hey everyone. Hope you are all well.

We are now in Abel Tasman. Very beautiful.

Got to Wellington Saturday and Got the tram up to the Botanic Gardens. They had a really nice rose garden and herb garden. We had a photo by the red roses as it was valantines day!!!! Then went to my first ever rugby match on sat night. Hurricanes v (someteam from Aus). We bought hats and t- shirts and lost!!!! Oh well it was good fun and good atmosphere.

Sunday got the ferry to Picton. Didn't stay there very lopng- jsut waited for next bus. We walked aroud the harbour and chose which boat we would like when we are millionairs!!!!! Next bus to Renwick (Vine yard region).

Did the vineyard tour on biles which was really fun even thought it was slightly cloudy. Went to different vine yards and tried all their wine for free (mostly). Great fun.

Next morning bus to Abel Tasman Nation Park. It is very very beautiful. Lots of mountains covered in lush green vegitation.

Today we went Kayaking. Kayaked around the islands and saw the seals- not many about as they had babies to look after!!!

Just had fish and chips for tea- freshly caught turbot- yummy.

Tomorrow going to go on a long walk around the national park.
