Today it's Wednesday here (1:05pm). We're 21 hours ahead of Vancouver. Another warm -- but muggy day. We arrived in Rotorura on Monday evening where we spent the night and toured around there yesterday. The boiling mud pools are quite amazing. Extremely smelly. Sometimes when the winds are blowing in just the "right direction" the smell's not quite as bad. Just like rotten eggs.
We drove up to Whitianga yesterday afternoon stopping at neat little shops along the way. One of T's pals offered us his cottage for last night and tonight. It's definitely a cottage with a view. Beautiful beaches below us. Not sure where we'll be hanging our hats tomorrow night as the cottage has been rented out. Friday we'll be heading south down to Whangamata where we'll be meeting up with all of T's family (his mum, his two sisters and his three brothers) for the weekend. Will be "testing" some more NZ wines I'm sure.
Cost of everything is very dear, including local wines, which quite surprised me.
Hope our "followers" are enjoying our adventures as we go along.
Cheers,
S&T
