Cape Reinga

Posted by admin On August - 18 - 2006

Early in the morning I went with some guys I met at the diving to Cape Reinga the northern spot of New Zealand. Here the Pacific meets the Tasmanian sea. You can see a line in the water. Before we stoped at the Matari Beach and the Kerikeri Falls.

And what happend as I am in front of the famous Cape Reinga lighthouse? My other camara ‘died’. Don’t know why… but didn’t work. So I was happy to have a one-way-camera in my bag, watch the difference again…

Diving the ‘Poor Knights’

Posted by admin On August - 17 - 2006

Early in the morning the shuttle from ‘Dive Tutukaka’ picked me up. Today I was diving at the Poor Knights Island. One of the bests spots in the world for sub-tropical diving. It was so freezing that I wore two wetsuits and a jacket. I saw sleeping rays, scorpion fish, snapper, demoiselles and lots more. I liked it but I prefer warm water like in Fiji. On the boat I met Debbi, one of the instructors, and she knows the guys from Nananu – the world is so small. In the rocks of this island is the worlds biggest cave (photo below). I met some guys who has the same way to Pahia so I was this evening in Pahia.

Up north – visiting the kiwi

Posted by admin On August - 16 - 2006

The fixing of my photo camera takes about a week. So I decided to travel up north again to Whangarei to see the waterfalls. After I will go to Tutukaka for diving the ‘Poor Knights Islands’. Then I wanted to go to Pahia at the Bay of Islands. From there to Cape Reinga the northern point of New Zealand. Because I had no car I booked the ‘Stray Bus’. The driver was nice and funny and on the first day we stopped at a native forest with a 800 years old Kauri. Look at the pictures how small I am compared to this anciant giant…
Then we stopped at the ‘Native Bird Recovery Center’ of Robert and his wife. They take care since ages of the native birds. If you wanna touch a real kiwi you have only here the chance. I touched the cute ‘Sparky’. He is one-legged, so he can’t live in the wild again. Unfortunately he was trapped once. But here he found a new home. There is also the funny talking tui ‘Woof woof’ and a kissing Indian miner bird called ‘Morris’.
In the afternoon I checked in at the ‘Whangarei Falls Backpackers’. But this was a bad choice. The couple who owns this place was very grumpy. My room was ice cold at night and when I turned on the heater the fire alarm immediately started. Had a really bad night. But at least the Whangarei falls are beautiful…

Last dives

Posted by admin On August - 6 - 2006

For my last dives I wished to go to my favourite dive site ‘Golden Dreams’ with ‘Shark Junction’ and a would really like to see ‘The Maze’ the only dive site in Nananu I had never seen. I was really happy when we went there. We done a deep dive in 30m at the ‘Shark Junction’ and then dives to ‘Golden Dreams’. It was so beautiful and I saw again white tip reef sharks. ‘The Maze’ was nice as well and full of corals.

Done some photos:

Eagle Ray and Turtle

Posted by admin On August - 4 - 2006

After having the best breakfast since weeks I was picked up by the boat from ‘Reef Safari’ at ‘Mantaray Resort’. I booked two dives but asked before if it is possible to catch the afternoon Yasawa flyer back to Denerau/Nadi. It was. So I was looking forward to dive again and hopefully see a ray. I had two dives – two chances! And right on the first dive in the morning I saw an Eagle ray, a turtle (my second turtle) and a White tip reef shark. It was amazing. Just great! The dive site was ‘Blue room’. The next dive was at ‘Coral orgasm’ and we dived trough underwater gates and saw some puffer fish and beautiful corals. Then I had a quick lunch at ‘Coconut Bay’ and then the Yasawa flyer picked us up (the israelis left as well). Back in Nadi I slept in ‘Horizon’ and was looking forward for coming back to Nananu-I-Ra just for the last weekend.

Naviti – queen for one day

Posted by admin On August - 3 - 2006

After lunch I left to Naviti just for one night because I hoped to go diving the next day at ‘Mantaray Resort’ at another ‘Reef Safari’ dive shop. At the moment is mantaray season and I hope to see at least one ray. When I arrived at ‘Coconut Bay Resort’ first I was quite irritated because I was the only guest who arrived today. Imagine about 15 Fijian just dance and sing for me! Later at dinner time they introduce me to the other guests and danced again. And at night they ask me if I would like to join them because they made a bonfire just for me. Felt like a queen for one day. Also met the israelian gang again. Hope I will get some photos of them because did no photos at Naviti.

The Blue Lagoon at Nanuya Lailai

Posted by admin On August - 2 - 2006

Today morning I went diving at the Blue Lagoon. The dive site was called ‘Tom’s Tumb’. I’ve heard that in this area are many dead corals and it is not worth to dive there. But I really wanted to know if that is true. And yes, it was. Its was too expensive (F$ 100 for one dive) and you will see less things alive and a big graveyard for corals, everything gray and demolished. But in 18m dept I found the most beautiful Kauri shell ever. After being back for lunch I produced a coconut bracelet. The Israelis left to Naviti where I want to go the next day for going diving at the ‘Manta Ray Resort’. I phoned immediately with ‘Coconut Bay Resort’ and there were still beds available (funny: two days ago they say it was booked out). In the afternoon I went with Lisa from California to the Blue Lagoon for snorkeling. In the evening I had some Kava and played some games. Could only take a few pictures since I only had some left on my quick snap cam… Too bad my SLR had dropped into the water and didn’t work…

Nanuya Lailai

Posted by admin On August - 1 - 2006

At 7:00am in the morning the shuttle to Denerau harbor picked me up. I was on my way to Nanuya Lailai one of the Yasawa islands. I was curious to see the Blue Lagoon (original from the movie ‘The Blue Lagoon’ with Brooke Shields). It takes about 4 hours with the Yasawa Flyer because this island is almost at the top of the Yasawas. I met Stacey from England. She was traveling alone as well and stayed at ‘Kim’s place’. I stayed at the ‘Sunrise Lagoon resort’. In my dorm apart from the Hungarian Peter there were eight Israelis. Never met so many in my life. There were fun but sometimes just to much. It was hard to sleep because they were that noisy. Together with Tom (one of the Israelian gang) I walked around the whole island. It’s beautiful but staying for two days is pretty much enough.

Sharks!!!

Posted by admin On July - 31 - 2006

Finally this Monday is the big day – we will see the worlds best shark feeding in Pacific Harbour of Beqa Adventures Divers. Its was so exciting. Apart from Glenn and me, Johnny, Sam and Marina done the shark feeding as well. It was great and worth it… The first dive was at 31m (51min) dept the second dive in 16m (49min) and we saw Giant Trevally, a Queensland Grooper, a Moray, White Tip Reef Sharks, Black Tip Reef Sharks, Grey Sharks, a Nurse Shark, a Lemon Shark and Bull Sharks. Later we got a brilliant 40min shark DVD. After the shark feeding Glenn and I went straight back to Nadi.

No shark feeding?

Posted by admin On July - 30 - 2006

After we could not do the shark feeding yesterday for me it was quite natural that we will do it on Monday. I just hoped Glenn will stay that long with me. Finally he did but now I had another problem: we were not booked in for the shark feeding on Monday…it was catastrophic! I was really upset because since week I was looking forward to it and I was happy when Glenn offered to come with me. But as he always says: buy viagra tesco online ‘No worries!’ or in Fijian: ‘Sega na lega!’ And he was right, in the end somebody called off and we both can go to the shark feeding tomorrow. That made my day:-) During the day we visited the Arts village again and had a good lunch and a smoothie and I had done some shopping. Here are the shops tourist friendly and most of them are open Sunday as well!
