hey everyone.
we are now in auckland,
since rotarua we traveled up to mt magnamui (beach town) were we spent one day. we didnt arrive till the afternoon so we just spent our time walking along the beach.
the next day we moved on again and arrived in to auckland late afternoon, stopping at one of our worst hostels yet, we like to call it the windowless box. auckland harbour is really nice, full of sailing boats and loving blue water. the following day we spend the afternoon at aucklands victoria market then had an early night to get ready for our early start up to Pahia -bay of island.
Pahia is another beach town up at the top of the north island, not that much to do there tho. on our second day we went on a swimming with dolphins trip which we got really excited about, however, we once we found some dolphins we couldnt swim with them because the had babys with them and it would but the babys under too much stress, so we could only watch them. we then moved to the front of the boat to take better pictures of the dolphins and just our luck as we moved a massive wave came and soaked the camera, which completely broke the screen of it.
yesterday we traveled on our last magic bus back down to auckland. we are now getting ready to fly to the states. we fly at 7.40pm so we spendin the day hangin about in auckland and also buying a new camera.
less than four weeks till we arrive back on london (4th march 7.35pm)
