abel tasman

Well, my plans for a nice quiet day at the Lemon Tree – updating the
blog, repacking my bag to head to Nelson, and sorting through pictures
– got upended when work was cancelled for everyone else due to rain.

Andy decided to head to the Abel Tasman region to show his face at
some of the kayaking places he'd already submitted his CV to. Adrian
was going along for the ride, and they invited me as well.

We drove through Nelson to get to the Abel Tasman region, so I was
able to pick up my WWOOFing book. That's Willing Workers On Organic
Farms (www.wwoof.co.nz), my next plan.

Unfortunately, we didn't see the beautiful water that's in all the
brochures – when it rains, the water turns brown instead of
crystal-clear blue and green. I'm sure I'll be back here in the
spring/summer, though, and will get to see it then.
