New Year 2006
First, an important safety announcement:
Yaay!
Some scenery
The open road!
Mount Ruapehu - the last volcano in NZ to have a significant eruption as far as
I know!
Lake Taupo
Lake Rotorua
Huka Falls
Island Bay, Wellington
360 Degree Flash thingy of the big pool
Boiling pools in the public park, Rotorua
Tirau - what a strange place! Every building has a big corrugated iron sculpture
on it! Good brekkie though at the Oxford Cafe.
This is The Castle where they make toys :)
And this is the honey shop where we had a delicious ice cream. They have a glass
working beehive on one wall too.
These are some of the Pics that Richard took diving on the F69 - the Navy
Destroyer that was sunk off the coast as a dive attraction in November 2005
This is what it looked like before.
Some Wildlife!
How come everywhere you go in the world Sparrows get there first?
Greedy sheep and deer at Paradise Springs in Rotorua
Lion cubs at Paradise Springs in Rotorua - they feel kinda like sheep to touch!
XXX Lion picture!
This is the third time we've been to a place with lions and they've been at it
soon after! We're thinking we might be a lion aphrodisiac.
This one wanted to eat me I think.
These trout are in the stream running past Paradise Springs - the water's so
clear and there's thousands of fish.
And finally I picked up a shell when we were walking on the beach a couple of
days after Christmas, and it was this feller's house!
