In the Coromandel Peninsula

We stayed on a boat hostel for 22 hours where we kayaked at night, went swimming in the south Pacific at night, I snorkeled and fed fish in the South Pacific, and ate raw mussles that we gathered and sea urchin. This is a picture of the crew telling us about the sea urchins

Claire, Elisa, and Myself (though you can barely see me) eating the urchins

The Rock (our boat hostel)

Oh did I mention I caught a fish! We let it go because it was really small...I mean too big as you can see from the picture
