Abel Tasman National Park

Spend the day sailing in Abel Tasman National Park. We started at Kaiteriteri, which is one of the most popular golden beaches in the South Island and then sailed to split apple rock (a result of graphite rock), and stopped for lunch at anchorage where I did a little hiking. It was a perfect sunny day for sailing and  incredibly relaxing! I spent most of the time laying at the front of the boat and managing to catch some zzz's here and there. On our way back we saw some seals playing in the water and just enjoyed the scenery as the sun was beginning to set. When we returned, I visited a wood carving gallery, which was truly incredible. Before calling it a night, we sat around the camp fire for a bit at our accommodation (Old McDonald's Farm). I definitely want to come back to do some camping in Abel Tasman.
