Second visit to Kiwi Land

As we had just spent 3 weeks in New Zealand the winter before, this was just going to be a quick 3 day jaunt to hit a few spots that I didn't get to see on the first go around.

Ventured down to Rotarua to check out the thermal areas and wanted to see the likes and differences between the lava flows at Kilauea and those in New Zealand. You don't get to see the active flow like you can in Hawaii, instead it's much like the blurping mud pits in Yellowstone.

Also spent some time driving around the north east side of the island -- absolutely gorgeous. New Zealand is one of the prettiest countries I've ever visited and highly recommend it.
