My trip so far. I think we are going to head to Gisbourne this weekend to see the sunrise (supposed to be the first in the world to see it). Then Rotoura to go white water rafting because you get to go down a ten foot waterfall. Also I think we will go Zorbing there. All I know you get in a huge ball and roll down a hill. That's about all the plans we have for now.

Taupo (Aug. 28 - Sept. 20)

I was in Taupo for a few weeks working for a tomato factory (Gourmet Mokai). I never saw any tomatoes since I was working during a crop change in the glass houses. All we did was move heating pipes which took about fifty guys per pipe (They were a little heavy). We met some fun people who helped us get extra work (mowing, weeding, painting, etc). They also cooked a lot of dinners for us which was really appreciated.
