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

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

Before Heading out for more traveling after Pahia and the Rock we stopped one last time in Kerikeri to celebrate Katie's 25th Birthsay. That way we could celebrate it with our NZ family that is before we see them again at Christmas

Meet Lukas and listen to his song that we like to have him sing to us

Kerikeri and the many adventures at the Hideaway Lodge and Kiwifruit budding

Our first 3 weeks were spent in Kerikeri kiwifruit budding (thinning). Yay for Migrant Farm Working (really though)

Josh cooked all day for everyone for Thanksgiving only later to realize that he was a week early, no complaints here though


Everyone enjoying TG dinner
