New Zealand & A Guilty Pleasure Song
30 Day Blogging Challenge

It's our final day hanging out with Elle we're going snorkeling and if you don't like swimming they have a glass bottom boat and glass kayaks so you'll get to see the awesome array of fish. So how cool is that, great photo ops and all for 1000gps. There's a lot more things to do if you check out the link. We're having dinner together at Leigh Bar, There's a cool fireplace and leather chairs we can hang out until it's time for our departure.

Today is snorkeling off Goat Island. I love this idea. I have snorkeled before - in Mexico, at a natural area - Xel - Ha (https://www.tripadvisor.ca/ShowUserReviews-g659488-d275031-r123757229-Xel_Ha-Riv...)

This will be a little different as it is open water with the opportunity to see dolphins and orca... now that would be extra special. pwheelr mentioned that I was the first to spot a sting ray and swim with a sea turtle... I would have to agree; but I would also add the pleasure of swimming with dolphins and seeing some orca in the area as well. No sharks, thank God. That always make me a little nervous... but maybe they prefer to hang out in Australia. After the guided tour we are able to keep the equipment and continue to snorkel until we have had our fill for the day. I was glad I picked up a little lunch to have a rough picnic when I got famished. I had enough for several of us, but others had the same idea. We all found a great place to eat and rest before venturing out for more.

The Leigh Bar was a great place to grab some food and wine at the end of a busy snorkeling day. All that swimming did me good. I had a hard time deciding on what to eat because everything looked so delicious.



Soundtrack of My Life

February 15... today is the beginning of guilty pleasure week. I have already admitted to being a Duran Duran fan... but what else? There are some songs I like because of the beat, but having heard the words I have had to rethink my choices. One such song would be:
Depeseto - I at least found a version without that idiot Justin beiber. He's one of our Canadian embarrassments.
I have heard this song has even been banned in Brazil.



The words....

Are down at the bottom of this post.

I love the dance beat to this song... so it is definitely a guilty pleasure.
