This is the view from the apartment the hospital has put me up in. That’s the Ross River and it is Saturday today so there are people waterskiing up and down.
We are in port at Mount Maunganui and we rented a big van with some of our cruise friends and headed out to Rotorua. It was pretty great, and a wild world.
We had a visitor here on Boxing Day, just after lunch. It’s a Blue Tongue lizard. It moves kinda like a snake but they are pretty harmless I think. A reminder of where we are.
