Day six - Rotorua / Wellington, New Zealand

December 16 - Today, in Rotorua, we went to a Maori cultural center (the native people), where they gave us a concert, and dance, which was truly beautiful. If any of you have seen "Whale Rider", you have an idea of some of the singing and dancing that we experienced. At the center there were also these amazing mud pools and a geyser that just went non-stop. Simply an amazing experience. Afterwards we drove to Wellington (the nation's capital). Not much to tell of the drive down, except just a lot of beautiful scenery, and we arrived at our hotel at about 12:30 am. On to Wellington...
