The last two days, I was hiking in Abel Tasman National Park. Despite it being my first real hike, I opted for a two-day outing (which was recommended to me by an Austrian couple). As it turned out, it was a good decision.

The national park is really beautiful: One beach is nicer than the other, and you get to hike from one beach to the next. Even though the wind was to cold for me to go swimming, I simply enjoyed the glorious views along the trail.
