New Zealand-Days 7&8 (Sun Mar 2 and Mon Mar 3)

Rotorua-Napier-Masterton-Wellington


We saw more geothermal activity leaving Rotorua, including bubbling mud pits and a very large geothermal generating plant.  Days 7&8 were big travel days, with lots of beautiful scenery.  Napier was a surprise, having been rebuilt in the 30's in the "Art Deco" style because of a terrible earthquake in 1931.  Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, is a beautiful city with hills that make San Francisco's look wimpy.
