Day 105 - Kelly Tarlton's Underwater World

NEMO!

A Very Pregnant Sea Horse

A Very Large Stingray

Kelly Tarlton's is an Antarctic Aquarium in Auckland. They had a lot of really cool creatures there. Unfortunately it was too dark for my photos to turn out, but we also did a Shark Cage Dive here. We basically all got snorkeling gear and we were submerged into the shark aquarium in a mesh, fiberglass bottom cage. It was pretty awesome. The sharks and stingrays would swim right up to the cage and sometimes rub up against the mesh!

Day 100 - Taupo

Where the Falls Start

Lake Taupo - Largest Lake in NZ

On the way back from our Tongariro Crossing trip, we decided to stop in Taupo to see the Waikato waterfall. Its famous mostly because of its colour and at the speed at which it flows. It it also the longest river in NZ stretching 425 km. It was pretty amazing seeing the tour boats get pushed around as they approached the base of the falls. They really come down with some force. We were all pretty tired so we didn't stay long, but it was worth it!
