I finally succumbed to the need for a doctor when my patchwork of meds did little after three days. More on that shortly.
We drove today from Rotorua to Wellington. The scenery here is breathtaking. I saw a lot of trucks hauling logs, as that is the 4th largest industry here. I spent many a happy hour with my dad as a child in a log truck or hauling lumber to customers. We stopped at a geothermal mud pool with bubbling, sulphur-smelling mud, interesting but gross. We next visited Huka Falls, mighty power and beauty.
We arrived in Wellington and checked into the Novotel. Once our guide Wayne got the others settled into dinner, he called an Uber to take him and me to the medical clinic. Thankfully it wasn't too busy and I was seeing a doctor within an hour. He said my lungs are clear and gave me a prescription for antibiotics and nasal spray to treat my sinus infection. The total bill was about $400 NZ, around $250 US. If this helps me sleep and stop coughing, it is worth every penny. I'm so thankful for Wayne's help. He's done this many times already for others on this tour.
Wayne and I stopped by a Woolworths to get food since we missed dinner. Woolworths here is a grocery store. I am now enjoying my first potato chips since I left home, quite a treat.
Time to shower, rest, and heal.
