Bay of Plenty II
8-10 JanuaryArrived Whakatane (say "Fo-ka-ta-nee") yesterday and checked into a brand new backpackers (not even open for a week - Merritt Whakatane Backpackers). Went scuba diving today to the White Island which is New Zealand's only active marine volcano. It was excellent, absolutely awesome, brilliant! Seen Murray eals, scorpion fish & nudi branch. :) To get up sooo early (especially in my break) was definitely worthwhile! :) Had a great time and just made it in time ... this was the last trip before the bad weather (which actually finally arrived - it's pooring down). Tomorrow will be a driving day again ... will make my way via a gorge towards Gisborne and then to Napier where I want to stay for a night before moving on to Lake Taupo (kind of a action sport capital of the north island)
Did I tell you that I almost did a very spontainious sky dive? But only almost ... and that's another story ...
Talk to you soon again.
