Dear All, Just to let you know that we are actually in Brazil right now and have a few blogs to upload. Wireless is a mystery here so it will be next week before we can do this. But don´t worry - we are NOT DEAD! Love, R & A

We drove out of Auckland with wet eyes all around and headed south east for Rotorua, famed for its geysers and natural hot springs.We were also warned by Andrew that the place stunk, which it did.We didn't get a good smell of the place until we woke up the next morning and I thought that there must be a sewage leak somewhere but no… that is just nature at work. The smell changes as the day goes on.It starts pretty putrid and then turns to a rotten egg smell...
