Well all of day 10 we spent exploring Wellington, and I gave my camera a break for the day. But we shopped at the "bohemian heart" of Wellington... very disappointing... not what I would call bohemian... I would just call it the retail heart. We went to Weta workshops where they built props for and lots of other stuff for movies like Lords of the Rinds, Narnia, Avatar. Just really cool stuff! We ate dinner at a brewery that had hard cider on tap- AMAZING! And we went to the cultural museum that I talked about yesterday. So over all a day full of urban exploring is not my favorite but it wasn't bad either.
Now for day 11. We had a long drive this day. We drove like half of the North Island in one day. So after we got to Taupo, almost straight north from Wellington by a big lake, we settled into our cabin (which was really cute) and set off exploring the town town...
This is Mt. Ngauruhoe and behind it Mt. Tongariro both active volcanos
This is in the Rangipo Desert... what you cant tell is sand is blowing EVERYWHERE!
Mt. Ruapehu another active volcano
Huka Falls north of Taupo
And then we went to the Honey Hive... full of local honey products
honey mead and liqueur

That is what the Royal Gorge was suppose to be like, in my mind.
