Rotorua - Day 1
I've finally found a decent Internet Cafe and can therefore update this blog!
Thanks to those that have left comments so far - Mike it was the SHOES not the feet! And we have NO relatives in Wellington, just in Christchurch and Auckland.
We couldn't find the Welsh Restuarant in Wellington as access to Island Bay was closed off because of the World Premier of King Kong which was the same evening! We did however go to a Theatre and saw a brilliant Musical Play called "It's a Whanua thing!" This was one of those last minute 'shall we's' which paid off big time - we REALLY enjoyed it.
We spent the last 2 days in Taupo and it was really good! The Motel was comfortable and close to all the amenities. We saw Huka Falls and the Honey Hive (we were there nearly an hour and a half!) and now are experts in bees and bee keeping! We also know all about Prawn farming after visiting New Zealands only Prawn Farm! We had a private tour this morning at the Prawn Farm - inasnmuch as it was tipping down with rain and we were the only mugs to turn up for it!
Jill even let me take her for a Thai meal overlooking the lake and that was really good - it's seems it's only Indian they have a problem with over here!
We have now moved on to Rotorua - where you can SMELL you've arrived before actually getting here! Probably something to do with all the GeoThermal Fields and natural spa's and geysers.
This is our best Motel Room yet with all mod cons and a private spa bath! Nothing to report as we've done nothing but find this Internet Cafe! So on that note I (well, WE really as Jill is sitting next to me) will sign off now.
We DO all miss all our family and friends in the UK - and we also miss the Kiwi lot we left behind in Christchurch too!
Nearly forgot - Dan phoned us and we'll be meeting up with him in a few days in or around Auckland!

Besides the "Whuana thing" would you give Wellington the boot?
