Early start, got picked up by a Kiwi fella called Luke (who'd become the first reason I felt like a returning Jedi today) Got aboard a sea taxi (big speed boat) which took us to Onetooti beach in the north of the marine park. Got kitted out and shown how to drive the two man kayak's. They had peddals in the back seat that turned a rudder which made stearing alot easier.
Set off on the open sea to Tonga Island and got to go within 20meters of the fur seal colony. The massive Bull seals make the strangest noise (not unlike Chewbacca) A few seals swan upto our Kayak which was well good to see them that close up. we paddled for a couple of hours to Bark Bay where we left the kayaks and the two of us walked part of the Abel Tasman trek back to Torent bay. The path goes through the dense forest of Abel Tasman (exactly like the forest moon of Endor) Didnt see any Ewoks like but Im sure I heard a couple of them having a chat. Also some birds must have watched the films as one of them was doing a hellish R2D2 impression.
So that confirms it: I was on the forest moon of Endor with the Ewoks and R2D2 trying to Randez vous with a guy called Luke. Coincidence!!!????!!!! Thus I am a Jedi Knight!!
Met back with young Skywalker who took us back to our hostel. Quality day!!!!!!!
