Our next trip was to the Bay of Islands. This reminded me of Airlie Beach whee there are just many different islands all around each other. We took a boat out around the islands and were able to see many dolphins which was awesome!!
If you look in the middle of the picture you can see two dolphins diving into the water.
The dolphins loved being close to the boat. The employees on the boat were telling us how the dolphins can hear us and know that we are there and watching them so they show off for us!
Our next adventure was to the Hole in a Rock!
On nice days when it isn't windy, the boat we take actually goes through the little hole in the rock on the right. But it was too windy so we were unable to go through it.
I could not believe that the boat actually goes through there!
On Thanksgiving, since New Zealanders do not celebrate Thanksgiving, we decided that we still needed to celebrate, so we enjoyed a nice lunch at Denny's. It was nice being able to relax and enjoy a good meal.
After lunch, we then went to the aquarium! My favourite! This was the van we took over to the aquarium since it was about 15 minutes away.
There were so many penguins swimming and having a blast.
This one even gave me kisses!
Oh my! I was getting eaten by a shark!
This sting ray loved the camera.
I even saw Nemo!
Dory too!
So, there weren't any turtles on display, so I asked an employee if they had any turtles in the aquarium incase we missed them. He said they had two turtles in the back that were currently in rehab. This aquarium takes in hurt and sick animals and put them through rehab until they are healthier. So the man took us back to and we got to see the turtles! I told him how turtles are my favourite and how he made my day!!
Once we got back from the aquarium, I facetimed my family because I wanted to say hi. It was Thanksgiving and everyone was still over my house at home so I wanted to see them all!
It was so nice being able to FaceTime my Grandmom,
cousins,
parents and sissy!!
