Heading north, back to Auckland. We took the ferry from south Island to north Island. It is huge, carrying semi trucks, train cars, autos, and people. Sunny day and a beautiful 3 hour crossing. Now we drive the length of the north Island to return to Auckland and then fly to Sydney.
I wanted to see Hobbiton, the spectacular preserved movie set, but Patricio is not interested. (I guess I have to return some day). He wants to see geothermal stuff near Taupo. This time he wins and I'm sure it will be interesting- like Yellowstone.
The drive north was long but we saw some great sights in those 3 days.
The fabulous views never ended until we left the coast
Nice harbor town on the west coast
Boiling mud...ok, I admit the geothermal stuff was only mildly interesting to me.
raging river thatruns thru a cateract with so much water you can barely hear! Near Taupo. Cool!
Hobbiton. Next time i will plan it. You must take a tour and they only happen twice a day. Looks very beautiful.
