If anyone wants to see some more lovely scenery:
Something we didn'texpect to see:

Whanganui River - one of the few deep water rivers we saw:

Out of rolling green hills appears a mountain covered in snow: Mt Ruapehu

Mt Ruapehu the next morning, from the other side:

Mt Ngauruhoe, along the road a little. The only part of New Zealand we saw that wasn't grassy green - it was almost desert-like:

Lake Taupo behind us and the previous mountains on the other side of the lake:

Rotorua. Cam not impressed with his namesake,

A little Moari culture:

A little geothermal activity:

My brother lives on a green farmlet just below Mt Ruapehu. It's beautiful.

Sheep, Nat!!!! ;D Poor NZ missed out very badly on the wildlife scene as far as I can see. Most of their wildlife is in the sea. But they did get some cool birds - kiwis are pretty cute really, and the kea is also intriguing.

Thanks, Char.

Somehow we thought might be the case. In fact when the cloud started lifting I was like "the clouds lifting, get photos now". but luckily for us it stayed that way while we were around. He certainly hammed it up for the tourists this time! ;D
