I left one more time quite early in order to get a full day of hiking. At 6AM a bus came to pick me up in front of my hostel direction Abel Tasman Park. We arrive around 8h30 AM and after the last adjustment to my bag I started the trek. It s a little a pity as the start of the day is cloudy when the day before was a perfect blue sky: whatever the park is so beautiful that it does not need to get a nice weather to admire it. All the way is on the shore longing the ocean in the middle of the rainforest. You go from bay to bay to beach to beach...
I think the most beautiful part is between Torrent bay and Bark bay as you get the ocean the rain forest and huge fields cover by the ocean half of the day at high tide.
After 6 hours of hike I arrive to my Hut: Bark Bay Hut where you are rewarded by a lagoon and some sand flies. The lagoon draw a tong of sand with a current all around quite strong depending of the tide.
I met some German there and we start to do a BBQ all together: life is beautiful...
