Off to the South Island

The other day we drove into this HUGE ferry to get from the North Island to the South Island. The ferry had a play area, an observation deck, a movie theater where I watched Alvin and the Chipmunks, and much more. The ferry ride took about 3 hours, and once we arrived at the South Island we had to drive 3 more hours to get to Riwaka. In Riwaka we stayed at a small farm with a beautiful view (that sold really good jams and jellies).

The next day we decided to hike in Abel Tasman National Park. Abel Tasman was like a rain forest with lush green trees, tons of birds, and a view of the ocean. Once we got to Apple Tree Bay we stopped at a beach and Dad swam super far out in the ocean.We had a great time in Riwaka.
