Friday July 2
We left Auckland for Rotorua today. The scenery on the way was spectacular, everything is so green despite it being the middle of winter. The weather reminds me of fall back home. It makes me want to hunt.
After we got to Rotorua we learned the haka which is a Maori ("natives") war chant. The All Blacks (NZ national rugby team) do it before each of their games. It was not what I expected I'll have to show you the dvd when I get back. The photo is of the face paint the put on for the haka.
I also went for my first NZ skate which was a little scary because I kept looking the wrong way when crossing the streets but I'll figure that out soon.
I sure hope you figure out the traffic soon!!! Love, Mom
