Hello from Rotorua


Having a brilliant time in Rotorua. Did a helicopter ride yesterday which went over an extinct volcano, then we landed in Hells Gate - the earth was bubbling at 112degC - and more it was smelly and quite scary but also fascinating. Today we visited the Buried Village which only happened 160 years ago when a huge volcano erupted. In our hotel room we have fire warnings and earthquake warnings as well. Leaving for Lake Taupo tomorrow.

Hope the earth doesn't move while you're there! Matt's jealous of your chopper ride. We've 6 inches of snow,-10 C and schools are off.....Brrrr!
