A very lazy morning ...waking up late ....crawling to the staff mess after a night of red wine and movies (after work)..eating lunch and a forseen day on the couch turned actually into quite an adventure...so firstly i shall introduce my fellow adventure buddy Chelsea..my work buddy and the adventure Queen ... we packed our Lizard backpacks and headed to the airstrip where we were fighting through gale force winds.....(well kinda!!) to reach the end of this treachorously long road to the beautiful beautiful Blue Lagoon.... ....the tide was at its lowest allowing us to walk around the headland through the water ....with our underwater cameras we became snap happy and seeing as the water had already soaked us we just headed out on a snorkel ...with no fins and fighting the waves and chasing rays ... read more

We decided to rest in Nelson and spent the next day wnadering around the cute town which we both liked very much. After half a day of shopping we had the fantastic idea of going hangliding which was amazing and then hit the road to abel tasmin national park where we stopped and did several short walks. Without a doubt on one of our walks to the waterfall it started ranning hard which made it actually more enjoyable.... After a day hopping in and out the car we headed south in mind for the Glaciers however stopping at several sites on the way including ... read more
