When i grow up i want to be a sailor!

Another beautiful day in Paihia and Cinderalla finally gets a day off. Booked my self onto a sailing trip around the bay of islands and got to live the high life for a day. I got to stear the boat which was great, not sure the other passengers agreed but i was loving every minute! We set out early morning and sailed for a couple of hours before arriving at a little island where we kayaked and snorkelled to our hearts content before getting back on the boat and putting up the sails to gilde along and watch the penguines and dolphins swim by in the evening sunshine. Bliss.

I'll let the photos speak for them selves as I'm having real trouble forming sentences today as a result of a night out at sea with some mad sailors who treated me and a dutch girl called karin to some of the beer that they were home brewing on their boat! Waking up and diving straight into the ocean was a great, although temporary, cure of the hangover. having to go back and clean for two hours however was not good.

So for my birthday i'd like a yacht please mum!
