Got up and went to the gym and for a swim, this health lark is good fun!
Had breakfast and a walk round town to buy few gifts, we bought a teddy bear that sings the Haka how corny is that? It started raining and just went more wet from there. We even found time to have haircuts (you may notice from the pictures)
Had a fantastic sushi lunch of avocado salad with salmon etc and then got on the boat for a dolphin and whale watching trip. The bad weather had meant the morning event was cancelled and it was only just passed for us to go but we warned that the wind speed out in the open ocean was going to be at least 5 knots and would be very rough and make spotting of dolphins difficult. Yesterday they had seen over 100 dolphin and been followed by a whale for about 10 minutes.
We loved the trip when it got into the open ocean it was so exhilarating, we had to buy waterproofs as it didn't stop raining once but it was really fun. Unfortunately we didn't see one dolphin or whale. But they offer a guarantee of a free trip until you do see one, we have a free voucher vaid for a lifetime for the trip if anyone knows they are visiting Auckland in the near future (next 10 years?) let us know and you can have our free pass.
We got back and had an enormous ice cream before coming back to the hotel to pack.
We decided to walk down town again and find a restaurant, we found a little italian and had a sea food platter but not up to the standard we had eaten in other restaurants in the town. Back to the hotel as we have an early start in the morning ready to travel to the next location of Rotorua.
