One actual great thing about being here is the gorgeous setting we are living in. We are on the edge of the Abel Tasman National Park. One weekend, we drove about 20 minutes to Split Apple Rock.

And just for fun you get to see a before, during and after scene:

That expression on his face is priceless!

Two weekends ago, some friends and I(Laura) headed to the Abel Tasman area. We took a water taxi to Tonga (a bay in the Abel Tasman). There it goes….

Next, we walked off and on for about three hours to Torrent Bay. We made some stops at multiple beaches along the way. It is hard to beat the beauty of this place.

Here‘s Maaike (from the Netherlands), Julian (Germany) and Shelby (Canada) along the path.

We crossed a nice, ‘stable’ bridge along the way. Here's Maaike and Caroline demonstrating the stability of the bridge ;)
