GEOTHERMAL ACTION In the morning it was time for a some geothermal action. Dylan started early with another dip in the hot spring at the campsite, we had some breakfast and then it was off to the Wai-O-Tapu thermal area. The Wai-O-Tapu area has the largest area of surface thermal activity of any hydrothermal system […]
Well after our little slip up at Christchurch airport (no thanks to Qantas!), we got to Auckland around 3 hours later than planned. However we were in high spirits, the views on the plane of the mountains had been great (and yes Neale there was wine on the plane), the sun was shining and it […]
So, we set off in the morning after our campervan generated cuppa and were actually the first pickup on the bus. We decided to sit near the front for the best view and also had the benefit of getting lots of tidbits of information from the driver (who wasn’t a bad driver for a bird […]
