All is Well in New Zealand
Christchurch is not the same city we visited only 6 days ago. After a tour to a cheese factory, a bee/honey shop, a winery, and several New Zealand National Parks fronting the Pacific Ocean, we came home to the news of Christchurch’s massive, destructive earthquake. Christchurch is about 1-1/2 hours from Karen &Bob’s house by plane, or 10 hours by car plus a ferry transit to the North Island.
We’re now on our way to a resort, Taupo, all safe and sound in our 10-passenger van. Taupo is about 4 hours away from Auckland in the interior valley About noon time we arrived at the underground ”glow worm” limestone caves. A walk through staligtites and staligmites brought us to the river cave entrance where we boarded a boat to take us through the dark, silent, glow worm cave where all we could hear were the drops of water seeping from above ground on its way to the underground river.
