August 29, 2011: Pictures can’t come close to doing today justice. Wow, wow, wow. Our day trip to New Zealand was almost sidelined by a 4 hour mechanical delay out of Fiji. We arrived to our hotel at 2am today and were on the road at 8am to see NZ. We hopped in the car and spent 8 hours driving the countryside and just enjoying the peacefulness, curvy roads and scenery. We stopped by the Agrodome for the Sheep Show (it was great!), went to Wai-O-Tapu to see the ‘geothermal wonderland’ (pics can’t do justice, simply amazing) and then ended the day at the Waitomo Glowworm Caves (easily one of the top 5 coolest things I’ve seen in life. No pics allowed, pic above from their site! As seen on Planet Earth.)
All in all, an amazing day. Oh, and we finished with supper at McD’s, where I had a Kiwiburger, a Kiwi Pav, and a Lemon & Paeroa to drink. All items I can’t get back home, which makes a stop at McDonald’s allowable when traveling internationally. :)
Next stop: Port Vila, Vanuatu!
