Rotoroa

Rotoroa is a city (more like small town) on geothermal goodness.  It is constantly emitting sulphur through the bubbly pools of mud and water, and smells like eggs!

The heart of downtown Rotoroa, the bus station. 

We took a walk through the forest just outside of town, the trees are huge!!  They just won't fit in the picture. 

Government Gardens and Museum of Art & History

Skyline Gondola up Mt Ngongotaha

Skyline luge - combo of downhill skiing chair lifts, go carting and some bumper cars too.  SOOOO much fun!

Black swans on our walk along Lake Rotoroa

Auckland Home

Okay so that's not a view of the new home!!  That is a view of the Sky Tower here in Auckland from Victoria Street looking up. 

Laurel and I have found, what we hope will be, a great home!! 

We have been busy cleaning the house, and we are really quite unsure as to when anyone might have lived here last.    It is down a long, steep switchback laneway and is the 2nd of 4 units. 

The address is:

2/66 Middleton Road

Remuera

Auckland New Zealand

No pressure to get the mail, postcards and fun whatevers coming our way!!

Totally love the green everywhere and will have to take a picture from the top of the lane out to the harbour and islands, it is quite the view as a walk home  :)
