wE'VE HAD A FANTASTIC COUPLE OF DAYS AND HAVE BEEN IN rOTORUA AND NOW IN tAUPO. wE HAVE BEEN BATHING IN HOT MINERAL POOLS and walking through landscapes full off bubbling mud pools and volcanic pools it is brilliant. We have taken hundreds of photos but not managed to work out how to get them on the site but as soon as we can find a way we will put some on. The weather is still great and we should be heading further south to Napier today to meet up with some more friends. We will be in Wellington for the weekend and have even got a babysitter arranged so we should be going out on Saturday night (what a novelty). We have booked the ferry to the South Island for Monday and that will be like going to a new country.
