A short 4 day stop on the North island of New Zealand during a RTW trip, visiting Auckland and the area around Taupo.Will definitely have to come back to visit the South island!

On the way to Auckland we stopped off at Rotorua again and went to some of the hot mud baths, they were quite cool to look at but smelt like rotten eggs because of all the sulphur in them. Did not see much of the place on the way down and it looked a lot better in the sunshine than the cloud o…

After a very swift thirteen hour flight from Los Angeles - and I mean swift after a girl from the states gave me a couple of sleeping tablets I was out like a light. I woke up after my ten hour sleep to find we had landed in New Zealand - Sweet! Best flight I think I have ever had. The time differe…

28 hours to go, and the excitement is building. I have no idea what I'm about to get myself into, and I'm trying not to think about it too hard. I've planned all the necessary things, and read up as much as I can, but all the theory in the world isn't going to be able to prepare me for whatever re…
