Hello,

It is Friday evening as I write this- the last few days have been filled with driving, vehicle ferrys, beaches, more driving and today a dash of geothermal vents ( we are staying at a camp near Rotorua tonight).

As per plan Jody is driving- she is pretty much a natural. We in a monster of a vehicle ( Mercedes Sprinter- Jay: I took lots of pictures of it like you asked. It is 7.2m long 3m tall!!).

Lots of photos have been taken so we will have much to share (Doug/Joan: we even found a Normanby Street).

Steph: our travels don't look to be taking us to Wellington so we won't be able to hook up with your friend. Our apologies. However we can't wait to see you next week!

Below is a picture of one of the geothermal vents. The thermal park was insane- bubbling mud, multi-coloured steaming lakes, sizzling earth. It was like being in some hellish alternate reality. Very cool. The picture doesn't really do it justice (from my iphone).



Kia Ora!
