It might take me a little while to finish summing up my experience on the Great Barrier Reef so I will post that soon. In the meantime, I am in Taupo, New Zealand (in the middle of the north island). I flew into Auckland two days ago and then promptly boarded a bus heading south to Rotorua, Waitomo and Taupo. I have learned about the Maori culture and swam in geothermal hot pools in Rotorua. I saw glow worm caves in Waitomo, and raging Huka Falls near Taupo. Tomorrow I have a little time in Taupo and then back to Auckland.
Rain and cold have put a little bit of a damper on the outside activities but it is still really pretty here. The island has rolling hills covered with cows and sheep feeding on the bright green grass. Geothermal activity and Maori culture are infused into everyday life on the north island.
I hope to go north of Auckland to the Bay of Islands next. I will give more details when I return from that.
