Hey!
Swam with dolphins in the wild today..it was so amazing! There were hundreds of them all swimming and leaping about. I think its really different to doing it in a sealife centre cos the dolphins are completely wild and its up to them if they want to interact or not. We must have caught them on a playfull day tho cos there were big groups of them swimming right underneath me and right up to my face. It was so cool! Its really funny cos you have to keep them entertained or they get bored and swim away, and the best way to keep them amused is to make really wierd high pitched sounds through your snorkle! So there we were about 20 of us swimming around making the wierdest noises we could! It worked tho cos i was swimming around in circles with one dolphin for ages! It was really curious and it was like he was playing a game to see if i could keep up with it! I eventually got dizzy tho and it found someone else to play with! They were so acrobatic too leaping and doing flips and spins in the air. Think we swam with them for about 30 mins and watched them for another 30, i loved it, they are so beautiful! We also saw a huge albatross which was impressive when it flew off and we saw its massive wings! It was so so cold in the sea tho.. and the wetsuits we had to wear were really funny with just our faces poking out! The cold was so worth it tho, i want to do it again, think its one of those experiences that im gonna always remember from this trip!
Spent last night at a friends house in Christchurch which was nice. Our last night in Queenstown was funny. Didnt drink after our tragic attempt at getting a bus the day before, but the guys wanted to go to a casino. Never been in a casino before.. it was far too scary for me, the guys were getting so into it, i put my little $5 on black, lost and decided casinos arent for me! I'll have to work after all!  Its sad to leave our friends off that bus, they were a really fun group of people, and the south island has been so much fun, and so beautiful. Going to the north island tomora, spending a couple of nights in Wellington then on to Taupo where im gonna do a skydive (why?!) Im a little bit scared about that so we'll see how it goes..can it be more scary than the canyon swing? 12000ft..we'll see!
 Hope everyone is fantabulous!
