tris'n'laws big adventure
we just got back from swimming with bottle nosed dolphins again!!! he he we couldn't resist another go, it's not like we will be able to do it much back in england!!
had a great time, the dolphins we alot more playful this time, after they had played around catching fish for there brekkie they were just as interested in us as we were in them!! they we bow riding for ages and we managed to get some good photos (from hanging off the front of the boat!!! ) we were so close though as it's only a little boat so we were about a meter away, we could see every little scar on them!! we then got the chance to swim with them again, and it was amazing. they were weaving in and out brushing past us and we could hear the noise they make too! they also really enjoyed swimming really fast straight for us then turing at the last minute!! quite a fright 200 kilos speeding towards you. it was wicked.
we have also been on a trip up to the most northern tip of new zealand to cape reinga. we speeded along 90 mile beach ( which is only 64 miles long so it's a bit of a daft name!) we also drove up a stream it was really cool and the highlight was probably sand boarding down a sand dune the size of everest i swear. it was so scary but a right laugh. wasn't so fun climbing all the way back up for another go!! we also went to a forest of giant kuari trees (about 150ft tall) native to NZ, and then saw some of the amazing carvings made from the trees including a staircase made in a huge tree trunk!! it's so beautiful and green here, we'll miss it as tomorrow were off to auckland again to pick up the camera thats being fixed and see fear factory!! we have got tons of photos to show you but can't find wifi anywhere!! doh. so you'll just have to wait with baited breath!!
