This is our last post from New Zealand. Actually we are posting from South America so a bit behind. PC´s etc more difficult to find in South America. First pics here are from Auckland, NZ´s largest city. Known as the city of sails Auckland is built on a spit of land between the Pacific Ocean and Tasman sea so is full of bays and harbours.
Good way to see the city is from one of the many ferries that connect various suburbs with downtown. Here is a view of downtown with a large cruise ship in dock.
Another great view is from above - the Auckland tower is the highest structure in the Southern Hemisphere.
As you can see the views over the city are pretty amazing.
Another look at the city from the water.
WARNING: VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED
The following pictures contain a number of steamy scenes.
I don´t normally agree to be photographed in steamy scenes but here you go. Rotorua on the North Island is one of the most active volcanic zones in the world. Everywhere in this area steam and hot mud pools and geysers are gushing from the earth.
When ya gotta go, ya gotta go.
Geyser in the park at Rotorua.
It was of course the feast day of our patron saint recently. The americans dye the Chicago river green. But in NZ, they have lakes that are green, all the time!!
This is not trick photography, the colour is caused by sulphur coming out of the volcanic vents in the lake bed.
Large outdoor sauna - Rotorua.
OK, here we go again. Here are more steamy pics:
Anyway, before we finish the NZ Blog it would be remiss not to mention that famous game in 1978. Actually they are still pretty pissed about it down here: This is the sort of reaction the word "Munster" usually gets.
Wait until we knock them out of the world cup!!!!
That´s it from down under.
Now we are off to learn the Tango.
