| During my stay in New Zealand I went to a large geyser park. On the left is a geyser erupting in the north island. The right is a formation made after the material from the geyser's build up. You can see the orange material that has built up. |
| These surrounding pictures are from a place called Bay of Islands. How it got its name is pretty obvious, since there are lots of islands and each one of them seems very unique. The tiny island that's white is not covered in snow, but was made that way by the seagulls. There were lots of dolphins when I came here. Some followed the boat and jumped out of the water doing flips, I never realized how huge they are until then. The last island is the most famous one, called the Hole in the Rock. |
| There were some explorers in New Zealand a long time ago who came across a hole in the ground, and when they looked down it they saw some rushing water and vegetation. They called it this place the 'Lost World' because it appeared underground. It's possible to visit the lost world and repel down 300 feet to the bottom. After you're done you have to climb out using a network of caves. |
| On the right is Whangarei Falls which drops down a total of 25 meters into a nice pool below. There is also a quick 20 minute trail near by that takes you around the falls. |

| New Zealand is a very exotic place not too far from Australia, but very different. New Zealand's weather is much cooler than nearby Australia, and the South Island is very cold with penguins and glaciers, perfect for mountain climbers. On the left is the rocky coast in the town of Tauranga, special thanks to Leah and Lena for being my tour guides! The right picture is of a cave that I went black water rafting in. Black water rafting is not going down in a huge raft and diving down rapids like white water rafting. With black water rafting you have your own tube and you float down the underground river, but there are some waterfalls about 6 feet high or so that you go down. Later in the cave you'll see glow worms, which are all over the ceiling and make it look like stars. It's an incredible experience. |
