Paihia, New Zealand
Luckily the rain had stopped this morning and the sun was trying to shine as we boarded the Carino catamaran all set for our day out on the water. It's a lovely boat and can take up to 40 people but, luckily for us, there were only 14 people today, even after we had picked up a few more people from the small town of Russell so plenty of room to spread out. The aim of the day was to look for dolphins, and maybe even swim with them if it was safe (for them and us)...
