That's Matt on the right!!! |
Matt + dolphins + rainbow= awesome vacation day. |
Swimming near one of Paihia's many offshore islands. |
I took this photo while on the boat. That's the truth, and I'm not saying any more about it. :) |
This was taken while I was sitting on the edge of the boat, and these dolphins were racing us! |
One dolphin got so close to the boat, I could touch him. |
Looky! It's a dolphin! |
Unbelieveable, right? |
After the cruise, the captain dropped us off at Russell Island for lunch. We then took the interisland ferry back to Paihia. |
Russell Island, the site of the first British settlement in New Zealand. |
Matt loves his dolphins. |
Dolphin love! |
The sun creeped out for an hour, and we took full advantage to finally capture some Bay of Islands beauty. |
Me and my sheep-peeps. |
...and sheep-sh*t. |
There are 4 million people in New Zealand...and 40 million sheep. |
A view over the Bay of Islands. |
I conquer the Bay of Islands!! |
After a long day swimming with dolphins, I opt for double-fisting New Zealand beer: Lion and Speight's! |
