My girlfriend came for a week holiday, so we just drove around lower part of the NZ north island,
dropped by these places; stratford (close to mt.egmont), taupo, rotorua, napier, hasting, martinborough,
cape palliser's light house and seal colony.

i read that cape palliser has the largest seal colony in the north island.
we're lucky to find them at that time, they were just lying on the grass or rocks,
basking in the sun, just few steps away from the gravel. an hour later we came back to the same
spot, but they had gone... probably gone to work...
with the 'skydive master', Roy. just before take off
inside the plane, waiting for the others to climb in.
after the dive... that was great! it was scary the second before the dive, i was sitting on the egde of
the plane, but after we leap out of the plane it just really wonderful, great, exhilarating!
