First attempt to walk the Abel Tasman...

Okay, confession time. Even we got some weather to deal with on our holiday. Our last day in nelson would be best described as ... well stormy. Howling wind, strong wave. Of course that didn't stop us to board a boat and get to walk in Anchorage bay. Picnic up under the rain in the wonderful DOC hut. We walk to a deserted charming little beach. Cleansed from the sky from  every angles (yes collected sand).Don't we love it when you climb on a water taxi and the lovely shipmate (barefoot) hands out straight away "towels" (apparently safer than your usual paper bag for seasickness...). Mano really enjoyed the wave surfing of the boat. I merely decided to take a much lighter lunch. Rachel said that the captain was really being gentle on us. Of course, Captain Calm was barefeet and sipping a cup of tea, not even secured to the deck. Your regular mug.

But hey, heroic-me braved the weather and took ONE picture.
Seriously, if that's what it looks like when it's awful weather, isn't that beach straight from heaven?
