New Zealand Day 18 Rotorua

What an amazing and busy day - from the lake, garden, and sulfur point walks to the Gypsy Fair (Borat would love it) to the private mineral bath from the natural hot springs all the way to the sea plane tour over the volcanos, craters, geysers and mountains, it was all wonderful!   Had lunch at the Fat Dog Cafe and rode the bus back to Auckland (no smelly guys this time, thank goodness) and checked in - ready to tour Auckland tomorrow and take the bus late tomorrow afternoon to Paihia for 3 days of sailing (probably no computer access there).  Hard to believe I'll miss Thanksgiving with the Christian family, but I'll be thinking about them and giving thanks for the opportunity to be on this wonderful trip.
