Good morning followers!

We had a fantastic day yesterday learning all about the Maori culture and the town of Rotoura. It is filled with History. It is famous for its hot springs which are all over here. The hotel we are at has a hot springs hot tub which Hadi and I enjoyed last night after much walking during the day! Slept great!!

Today we are traveling to Matamata to see where the Lord of the Rings was filmed (Hobbiton) and then on to Auckland where we will have a tour of the city......lots to do...

So far the food here is not unlike the food in America and the countryside similar to the Midwest except not as flat and much more green!!

That's all for now...
