Hey!!!!

Hope everyone is ok!!! well.... we are now back in Rotorua.. and will be leaving New Zealand in 2 days :( we are both gutted to be leaving... but excited for OZ!!!

Soooooo what have we been up to??? Last time we left a blog... we were just about to go on our dolphin swim!! hahahaha thats a funny story!!!
So we get up at like 4am... and trek to the place in the pitch black. get all suited and booted in our VERY attractive wetsuits and set off on what was ment to be an AMAZING experience. it was a VERY windy day and as our boat set off... it was quite smooth... but the further south we went the more choppy it got!!! the waves were coming 3 and a half metres over a boat.. and both myself and craig started to feel quite ill... to say the least. The boat man decides to head back due to the weather... even though we hadnt seen any dolphins... which to be honest we were quite happy about!! then suddenly they spot some and zoom off further south inspite of the weather.. everyone leaped to the side of the boat to watch all the dolphins doing jumps and all sorts.. but we had to remain in the main part of the boat.. because we cudnt even talk... let alone walk with the fear of being sick!!! No one got to swim with the dolphins... but we got a good look.. not as much as we would have liked too though!!!
Anyway.. craig managed to hold himself together back to the dock.. I on the other hand didnt.. and spent the rest of the journey with my head in a bucket!! hahaha... we look back now and cant stop laughing!!! but we defo wernt laughing at the time!!!

After our eventful early morning adventure.. we jump on the bus to head up to picton.. to catch the ferry back up to Wellington... North Island!! yet another boat!!!! this one was fine though!!!

We spent one night in Wellington and then moved onto Taupo. We have been to these places before... but we are just making our way back to Auckland to catch our plane. In Taupo there was a iron man competition.. which was pretty fun to watch.. and we also went out with 2 of our friends, as it was our last night with them.. which was pretty sad!!

Now we are in Rotorua for a night.. then heading to Auckland for our last 2 nights.

Can't believe how fast time is going!!

Loadsa love
