Wet Underwear

Just realized the undies are wet, then it hit Kadizzle why.  Riding out to the marvelous Abel Tasman National Park Kadizzle took a short ride to Split Apple Rock.  Someone said it was well worth seeing.  Indeed it was.  Down a winding stairway through the tropical forest and onto an amazing beach.  Cannot think of a nicer little cove anywhere.   People came in kayaks and large canoes with outriggers. The water looked just too tempting, but Kadizzle had no swim wear.  After the crowd left Kadizzle stripped down to his undies and went in.  The water was just a bit too cold for total immersion, so the little dip did not last long.

Next Kadizzle went over to the official part of the park.  The girl that served him beer had him fooled.  She spoke with a good New Zealand accent, but said she was a teacher from New Hampshire.  Had a very nice pizza there then headed out for a walk.  After moving along the tidal walkway Kadizzle came to Porter Beach.  A nice looking backpacker was napping against a log on the beach.  That inspired Kadizzle.  With the help of the beer and pizza Kadizzle took a pleasant little nap in the sun on the sand.

Winky, listen up.  The hike in Abel Tasmen has it all.  You go up into the mountains, along the beach, and the scenery is terrific. Met a lot of backpackers doing multiple day trips.  As Kadizzle was having his beer some young hiker noticed Kadizzles hiking stick.  Kadizzle had just randomly picked up a stick along the trail.  The young hiker said Kadizzle needed a better stick and gave him a much nicer, stronger, straighter hiking pole.  A short lapse of memory just about got Kadizzle T boned, but quick response saved the day.  Left hand driving is not for amateurs or Americans.

Back here at the ranch it may be time for another nap.  Still have not completely adjusted to the time change.  Need to do some planning for how to go tomorrow.
