27/2/09 Haruru Falls - Whatuwhiwhi

Try & pronounce that!
Well today we popped into Paihia & went on a boat trip to swim with the dolphins. Unfortunatly we didn't get to swim as there were babies with their Mums but we did get to see a lot of bottle nose dolphins in a pod. They were huge & we would probably have found it a bit scary swimming with them! We both laid down on the front of the boat & they were so near we could have touched them if we were allowed! We were apparently very lucky to have seen the babies at approx 2 weeks old.

Trucked on in the afternoon through Kerikeri where we visited the oldest wooden built & oldest stone house in NZ then onto Whatuwhiwhi in Doubtless bay for the night.
Tonight was fun in the van as we experienced our 1st storm! Jay went to the toilet in his swimming shorts it was that bad! Not much fun cooking with no windows open though & the door leaked! We were right by the sea but didn't get to see anything!
