Going to Awaroa. 18/3/25

 Today we walked from Torrent Bay to Awaroa Beach via Bark Bay. The day started with a light rain that freshened the ferns and mosses. This was a long day, 18 km. 

We were picked up by Abel Tasman Guides from the Motel and taken to Mārahau. We boarded the water taxi on dry land and the skipper drove the tractor down the ramp where a guy took over and drove across the tidal flats and reversed into the water where we floated off. A very slick operation. 

Awaroa lodge was built in the 90s and is now quite a big place. I had a tender piece of lamb for dinner.
