After getting out of the big city of Auckland and into the North Island countryside, we stopped to admire
sheep several times until we had passed our first million of so. They were nice to look at first, part of
the background scenery after a few days of driving past so many.

We drove to Rotorua, on the North Island of New Zealand, to see the volcanic activity there. It is very
much like Yellowstone National Park in the US. The smell of hot sulphur is everywhere, and in a great
many areas there is steam coming right out of the ground by the roads, between houses, in parks, etc.
The earths crust is very thin here and can be seen by the steam, bubbling mud pits, hot water vents
and geysers. Below are a few video clips we took, for some reason I never took a still photo.

We spent our first night in New Zealand at a Bed and Breakfast on a small farm outside of Rotorua.
These pictures were taken our first morning there. Kendra was out exploring and came yelling about
the deer that were 20 yards from our porch. They were very tame, even her loud noise, running and
bright red outfit did not scare them off. This was unusual to us - our first reaction was to be quiet
