I have a Life Is Good shirt that displays Holmes' quote. We have experienced a lot of earth music on this trip!
Well, dang it, I managed to catch the head cold that has been circulating through the group. So I was fairly out of it today, not much appetite.
We drove from Auckland to Rotorua, which included about three hours actual driving time, but with pit stops and snack breaks, got us to our hotel around 4:00. One of our stops was Tirau, noted for its giant corrugated metal figures (below). The NZ countryside is quite lovely. It was surprising to me that we saw many more cattle than sheep. They also have no billboards trashing up the landscape.
I was weary and slept much of the drive. I got some meds so hopefully tomorrow will be a more enthusiastic day. My big accomplishment of the day was doing a load of laundry, for which my fellow travelers should be very thankful.
Perfect weather continues!
