After traveling around the North island for a few weeks we have now
reached New Zealand's South island! It's a little bit colder than we hoped it would be but a warm hostel in Takaka made our day today. Yesterday's sunshine and hike in Abel Tasman National Park was amazing and although today has been rainy, we've had a well-needed break from all our adventures and have been taking it easy. Here's what
we've been up to the past few days!
