We left Rotorua this morning with the vague hope of getting north of Auckland by day's end. We don't like to drive after dark and the days are shorter, so that usually means driving until about 6 pm.
We started the day at Waimangu Thermal Reserve, about 20 min. south of Rotorua. Wonderful bush walk and all sorts of thermal activity up very close. I likely shot over 100 pictures in a couple of hours, and several minutes of video. A remarkable place.
No pictures yet, alas, because I'm typing on a sloooow public terminal in our holiday park on above Seabird Coast. Orere Pt. is very close to Auckland but surprisingly desolate. We are getting barely better internet and mobile phone access than the East Cape!
Tomorrow is ANZAC Day, a national holiday and Fairly Big Deal. Think Rememberance Day (they even wear paper poppies), but with more emphasis on that whole Gallipoli thing.. We are hoping that the holiday means traffic through the Auckland bottleneck will be considerably lighter.
