Taupo and Rotorua have been great: most of our time has been spent in the hot springs! (This place was very well done.) We stopped off at the VERY impressive Huka Falls en route to Rotorua (I'll post pictures in a following post because I don't have my camera connector with me at the moment). Over 50% of the North Island's power comes from harnessing the hydropower of the Waikato river. Just amazing - but not a place I'd want to boat or swim!
Today we are heading out of Rotorua (a day early to hit the beach) and going to Ohope Beach in the Bay of Plenty. We are so excited for some sand and surf. Then we make our way up the Coromandel Peninsula to soak up the sun. We'll be sending our warmest thoughts to all of you stuck in the cold front sweeping the states.
Next post will be coming to you with sand between our toes.
