New Zealand, North Island : Epic Road trip 3rd week in hired car. Coromandel Peninsula to Tairua & Hot Water Beach. Swiftly down to Rotorua, for MiTai Maori Village experience (see video on youtube), Wai-o-Tapu Thermal Wonderland, Waikite Valley Pools, to north coast Orewa, Paihia and first capitol, the fishing village of Russell, at exquisite Bay of Islands & scenic overlook. Finally, to Botanic Gardens in Auckland, to see edible, African and Rose gardens. *sigh* www.MarciJavril.com november©2014
