Today, we traveled southward through the most intensive farming area in the north island. Lots of dairy cattle. We stopped at Matamata where they built the set and shot the shire from "The Lord of the Rings".
Tonight (Saturday) we are here in Rotorua on the North Island and are staying at a bed and breakfast with Christine Doolan. Her place is breath taking with a view of Rotorua Lake and forest. She has donkeys, pet quail and served us a wonderful beef dinner. The lake lies in a carter of a valcano and the area has a number of geothermal pools and mud pots.
We are not staying at Christchurch after all due to unsafe buildings and continued rescue efforts. It will be two nights here and then we move on to Wellington for two nights. Bye for now!
