onwards and... well, onwards...
... well, we are nearing the end of our little break and we are destined to take the ferry from Auckland on Tues 17th October to the Great Barrier Island. The place looks amazing and we are both really excited. Since the Bay of Islands we have travelled through Auckland and followed the Coromandel Peninsula nearly all the way around until Tauranga and Mount Maunganui.
We climbed the mount last night and witnessed the most gorgeous sunset! Although we were both very red-faced and tired!
We are currently in the cultural centre of Rotorua and are destined for a Hangi tonight (which will include a traditional meal, welcome to the village, a tour of glow worm caves and traditional performance in Maori stylee).
Tomorrow we are going to Hell's Gate which sounds pretty awesome too!
Anyhoo, much to do and little time left on-line, more pics soon and in case anybody wants to write, send pressies (money appreciated), or hate mail :) then our address from the 17th October for 6 weeks is as follows....
Stray Possum Lodge, RD 1 Tryphena, Great Barrier Island, 0991, New Zealand
Laters, M&T :)
