Well if she is not a scuba diver her opinion is void on that matter lol. There is good diving, I don't know where not being a scuba diver either, I have a friend whose husband dives for crayfish (lobsters?) down in the South Island, and up North you can dive the wreck of the Rainbow Warrior (greenpeace ship bombed by French intelligence agents in the 80s).
"Pounding the world, like a battering RAMMMMMMM!!!!"
Couldn't resist. Got a bit of a tour going out to a Medieval castle here in Brittany today. Way kewl. As it is Sat, I also spoke with a woman from Amsterdam tonight while sipping on a lovely home-made strawberry rum. Said lady SWORE that there was no good diving in New Zealand. Becks? Any comment? That, I find hard to believe. Woman was admittedly not a scuba diver herself but I really question that one. I need some ammo to back up what I doubt should I ever see this lady again!
Anyhoo, the first thing you see at the castle gates! A battering RAMMMMMM!!
