Kiwi: Bird Fruit or Person?

New Zealand is so pretty even if we are freezing our butts off at night in our van! Yesterday we left Taupo and started heading to Roturua. Randomly we decided to drive to the coast so proceeded to drive through a Forest Preserve. Little did we know that the road becomes unpaved and winds so much that we are going about 10-20 miles per hour the whole way through (4 hours). It was really pretty though and we saw a bunch of random animals (cows, goats, sheep, horses) all chillin by the road. We got out the preserve and made it to the nearest big town on the coast then decided we didn't want to take the East Coast tour since it would be just as bendy so we took another road straight up through New Zealand and looped around back to Roturua. It was a random road trip that took all day but totally fun. Today we went hiking at a thermal vent place. We hiked to the top of a mountain that proved how out of shape we were but the view was great. Then we made lunch out of the back of our van and walked around downtown Roturua. Tonight we probably will go out for a little bit and see the local bar scene. First we have to find a place to shower... hmmmm. Unfortunately photos are not loading on this computer so just imagine lots of hills with sheep and cows and cool steam rising out of rivers. I can't believe in 3 days I come home!!
