Early on Sunday morning, we joined our hosts on the wharf and set off in a big catermaran, searching for dolphins. After a few false alarms, dolphins were finally sighted. I did my best to take pictures:
As if that ace picture wasn't enough, here is another one:
Here is a picture of a dolphin being much more friendly with another boat than with ours.
As it turned out, those were the last pictures that I took with my camera before it broke; every picture I take now comes out overexposed and rubbish.
I had been hoping for the opportunity to jump into the water and snorkel with the dolphins. As usual, New Zealand's changeable weather cussed these plans; the sea was far too choppy and we were forced to watch from on-board the boat.
The Bay of Islands was nice but we were running out of time and had to leave. We jumped in the van and headed north on what was left of State Highway 1, aiming to reach Cape Reinga by the end of the day.
