Work visa application approved

Finally!
During the breakfast at Ambassador hotel (sounds better then actually is) in Hamilton, I received a call from a lady from the New Zealand Immigration Serviced. After a long and stressful wait my work visa application got finally approved. I would have to leave New Zealand in a week if I didn’t get it…
Right now I can officially join the CADPRO team. The next big goal is getting the car.

The last picture

This is the last picture taken with my camera.

Last picture

It is the last because the camera is dead. Sunken actually… I’ve been looking for a perfect spot to take the photo of the cave and I got washed off the rock by a big wave. The funny part is that I have to buy exactly the same camera because a week before I bought the underwater housing for it.

Anyway, to those all who have seen Vanilla Sky. Do You remember Julie Gianni asking stupid question just before the crash?
This is happiness to me:

Happiness

Well, of course it is never as simple as that but that was close to a place where it doesn’t get any better.

Due north

Just to answer some questions:

Yes - I made those pictures myself. Thanks to my Coolpix 7900 and WP-CP4.
Yes - these are real free dolphins living in the ocean.
Yes - You can touch them if they want You to. I actually managed to do it just once.

Dolphins
It was a trip in the Bay of Islands. A big boat takes You to a place where the dolphins usually are spoted and if the conditions allow, You can go swimming with them. It lasts as long as You can keep them interested and since they see at least 4 groups of people almost every day it is rather hard. Nevertheless this is a few unforgetable minutes.
