Ah New Zealand, how I'd love to go again! I spent about a week there (prior
to flying over to Sydney for my brother's wedding), driving around the North
Island a bit, and it truly is a beautiful country. Rotorua is an
extraordinary place - Hell didn't mention the smell!! I loved Napier too, a
seaside town full of amazing Art Deco buildings. I hope to get there for
longer next time.
