Since arriving in South Island it's been all about the tramping! We headed west from the ferry to stay with Priscilla (sister of Elizabeth, see previous Generation Game blog!) in Motueka... the gateway to Abel Tasman National Park... and we persuaded Priscilla to join us for a wee hike along the coastline...
Obviously, the hike began sitting in a boat, on land, being towed by a tractor into the sea... as you do... poop poop!
Dropped off at Anchorage Bay further up the coast, we began our tramp back... that is, after a few distractions by pretty shells and starfish of course... ahem, who me?!
Now, I know fungus isn't something generally to get excited about, but, check out these bad boys I found along the way...
Yes, blue! It's blue!
Oooooo, cool eh?! And then I became slightly obsessed...
...until I met this face...
We loved Abel Tasman, and it's beautiful coastline. Big thank you to Priscilla for having us to stay! Sadly the weather came in and hindered our efforts to get out and about in canoes which we so wanted to do, but we decided to cut and run to the west coast chasing the sunshine for more adventures!

p.s. here's another cheeky 'shroom pic ;)
Hello Priscilla! It looks as though the three of you are the only people tramping in the South Island.
