Auckland, City of Sails
Rotorua, City of Geothermals
With only one day in Auckland, we decided to spend the day walking the city. Auckland is situated on a beautiful harbor. After walking up and down the hills of Auckland and around the harbor area, we ended the day at a cafe that Bob and I visited on our last trip here in 1999. We feasted on pots of delicious green-lipped mussels marinated with garlic and onions. Yum!
The next day, we took a bus to Rotorua, to stay with Art, a long-time friend of Julie's family. He lives in Rotorua for half of the year and the other half at his cottage in the UP. So, here we are, the four Yoopers together in Rotorua, New Zealand!
I might have known you'd find Yoopers down there! Liked seeing Auckland Harbor - Bob liked the idea of mussels.
