We got up early today (well, 8am is early to backpackers) and took a tour on a catamaran around the Bay of Islands. First off we encountered a pod of Bottlenose dolphins which was pretty cool. Normally we could have swam with them but there was a new born dolphin there and it's illegal to swim with them if that's the case. Nevertheless, it was great to see them do their thing - although it was difficult to get a good photo with the digital camera with the delay. However, Su managed this one which was pretty good:
I then discovered the video option on my camera so ended up taking a good bit of video footage - once I get hooked up to a decent internet connection I will post it up.
We went around the different islands around the Bay of Islands - the day was a bit overcast so we didn't get too many good photos but the ones we took of the Hole in the Rock (which is a hole in a rock) came out ok. The first one is from outside and the second is from inside:
We off on another trip to Cape Reinga and 90 mile beach tomorrow so hopefully there'll be another update soon!
