Hello,
Haven't blogged for a few days! We have travelled from the South Island to the North via Wellington, Napier and we are now in Whakatane (pronounced fokka tar nay). We have 4 nights booked at the Tuscany Villa and so far we have enjoyed finally being tourists and not doing much but going to the beach, enjoying library hour and sampling NZ wines!! Tomorrow our laid back life changes and we go back to Rororua to visit a Maori village and to participate in a hangi (sort of like a luai only Maori)
