Rotarua

Hi,
This morning was a bit of a slow start - in fact it ended up lasting into the arvo, so it was just a slow day, which was nice, as we had time to sort out the van, and now we actually feel like we are finally organised in our little home! Having said a fond farewell to Uncle Malcolm and Fiona, who have been just awesome the past few days (Thanks so much guys!), we set out for Rotarua, about an hours drive from The Mount, a lakeside town famous for it's hot springs. So here we are in a little caravan park with it's own hot pools (not the stinky ones - although the whole town has that sulphur-y aroma, which is lovely...not), and back for some more nights in our little blue van, which will probably actually be a lot improved with the kind addition of a couple more blankets from Uncle Malcolm and Fiona, which will be much appreciated now that we are without the comforts of their nice warm house! Anyway, I am watching the timer on the ridiculously exopensive internet run down (I have 2 mins and 44 secs left!), so another short post, this time without even any photos as these silly computers dont have usb drives.
So the next few days will probably consist of sight seeing aroung Rotarua and Taupo, then on to Mt Ruapehu (yeah...those meanies who didn't give us jobs)...
So hopefully a more substantial post for you guys next time :)
