We did our dolphin swim this morning and it was amazing. There were a lot of dolphins out and we were able to get very close to them, closer than the previous times I've done the swim.. It's just very cool to be in the water, making eye contact with a wild dolphin!
I took this picture, which shows a swimmer in the water and a dolphin frolicking just behind. And here we are on the boat just after the swim:
Since we found a good internet cafe, here's a few more photos:
This is us at the pass overlooking Doubtful Sound. It's a pretty cool spot, there is a lake that's about 150 meters of altitude, and a road over a mountain pass that about six miles later hits Doubtful Sound (which is actully a fjord). We took a day's tour. The rain prevented us from seeing the mountaintops but the waterfalls were amazing. I was wearing my very fashionable bright yellow raincoat, which won't win
This is me at the terminal face of Fox Glacier.. note the warning sign behind me.
Here's a yellow eyed penguin coming out of the ocean, taken at the bottom of the South Island in the Catlins.
And finally, a self-portrait of us sitting in the car..
And finally, a self-portrait of us sitting in the car.. We're having fun and these are highlight pictures.. we've taken many more. Hope all is well with you back home!
