Goodbye Auckland...Hello Rotorua

Took a drive down the expressway from Auckland to Rotorua...that's expressway 1 FYI. Very good road and the car handled well. Looks like everyone was going back the other way and as tomorrow is Monday I suppose they were all on holiday for the weekend down this way. We have had a look through some smelly mud pools (acidic) and some smelly clear water pools (alakali). Tonight we are going ot a Hungi and a dancing/haka show. Should be toe curling but I suppose it has to be done.
