Kia Ora



Thats a picture of the sunrise in Whitianga, which we could view from our bedroom window. Its quite amazing to watch it rise up from the sea. We went scuba diving in Ha Hei in the reserve. There were seals beside us! We had to drop into the water backwards from the boat. I couldnt do it, so they let me step in to the water. There were so many fish. We got to feed them. We also seen an ocotopus. It changed colour right in front of out eyes, so that it blended in with the sand. Anto was having a hard time trying to control his movement!! His belt was falling off! To get to the diving office, we had to walk. We walked about 6km, which took about an hour! We stopped when we got to Purangi winery. From there we got a taxi. We returned to the winery later, where we got to sample alot of wines. They had plum, fajora, honey... Such a friendly bunch of people. We got a lift back to the ferry from them, and along the way back they brought us up to Shakespere point, where the view is stunning!
