5 days remaining...

I woke up early today to go swimming with the dolphins....that's right, I'm on vacation and I willingly got out of bed at 5am!!

It was really cool having the dolphins come right up to you, and to be able to hear them chattering to each other under the water. I took a few pictures with the underwater camera, but the dolphins were so fast that I don't know if I actually got anything. I'll have to finish up the roll doing something before I come home so I can get it developed with the rest.

I'm in Wellington right now, and heading to Taupo tomorrow. Got here rather late this afternoon (5:30) so I didn't get much of a chance to check out the city. But, if nothing else, I now know that there can be traffic in New Zealand afterall!

I'm pondering going sky diving tomorrow in Taupo if there is time to do so...and if I have the guts to actually go through with it! If not, maybe I'll try bungy jumping... ;)

In 2 days I will be in Rotorua...and with any luck, I'll be able to complete the triple bypass in one day...at a minimum, I'm really hoping that I get to Zorb...that is afterall the only reason I'm here right now...hehe.

I'm having a blast regardless of what I do, this place is truely brilliant and I can't wait until I can return again to do and see more. I hope that everyone at home is doing well and managing to survive the -20 degree weather my mother informed me has arrived. I'll just have to make due with the +25-ish degree weather we've had recently...I think it was close to 30 in Christchurch the other day...not that I'm trying to rub it in or anything...although I do think that I have tanned more in the past week than I typically do all summer and that is with using SPF45 sunscreen. As they often say in NZ, it's all good bro!

Sweet as!

Update again sometime again before I depart this fine country

Take care everyone!
