Hello everyone. this is my first post on the blog. We had a uneventful flight from the US. The only incident was that the person sitting in front of us on or flight form SFO to Australia was removed from the plane prior to taking off. Aparently he was using a stolen passport. Seems like they should have figured that out before he made it on the plane.
New Zealand is a beautiful country. The weather is a mixture of Hawaii and California. It has California type temperature with the Hawaiian type rain squalls that come and last for 1 hour then leave. Everyone has been very freiendly and helpful.
We are currently camping right on the beach in a resort called Papamoa on the Eastern side of the North Island. Today we went on a 2 hour hike to the top of the local mountain which is an extinct volcanoe. Had a great view of the surrounding area. We also stopped by a local winery and did some tasting. Its incredible the wineries here have free tasting. What a concept.
Tomorrow we are off to Rotorua which aparently is very volcanic and active with bubbling hotsprings and geysers. Should be fun.
Thats all for now. We will try to update again in the next day or so.
