Kia Ora from Tauranga!! Slowly heading up the North Island now. First port of call when we got here was Wellington; which was cool. Visited the Te Papa museum whilst we were there aswel as doing the usual city sightseeing. Went to some botanical gardens whilst we were there and visited the parliment building and the ''beehive'' building - which was drawn on a napkin by the englishman who designed it - there you go; little bit of history for you all there. After that we headed upto Taupo where we celebrated my birthday (woooooo i'm old now!) saw some waterfalls and lots of geothermal areas - so lots of geysers everywhere and the not so pleasant sulphur smell to go with them! Lots of them in Rotorua too which was our next stop. Was hoping to see the Maori whilst we were there but the prices they were charging seemed a little too much for the 2 1/2hrs you got. Headed on upto Tauranga after that which is where we are til the 21nd, weathers been fairly good here. Climbed up Mt Maunganui which was a good walk. Shame that the cloud....clouded over our vision?? Meant we couldn't see the view which was quite disappointing but nevermind. Can't see everything! Not long left here now. 2wks ish and then South America here we come!!
