Have been in North Island since the last post. It rained for the first 3-4 days, but then we managed to go white water rafting on the 'Mighty' Tongariro River - which was lots of fun. After that we spent some time boggling our minds at some amazing geothermal stuff (bubbling mud, crazy-coloured pools, geysers) and we have just spent 2 days out on a boat in the Bay of Plenty, hoping to see and swim with dolphins. We were really unlucky though, no dolphins this time.
