It has been a while since I have had a chance to update my blog so here I am again. The in-laws are on the plane back to Australia. As much as I like being around them, living with them is very hard. We had a good break with them. We went out a bit, did some shopping and sat around reading the newspaper. That was always a hi-lite. Over the Easter weekend we took a trip to Rotorua. That is a place that is a contradiction of words. There are so many beautiful things to see but the smell from the bubbling mud is the most foul thing ever. The smell is indescribable. It makes your toes curl.

We saw a pool that was just bubbling just like champagne but the smell was horrible. In the same sense it was one of the most beautiful things you could ever see. The picture on the left is Lady Knox Geyser. We had a heck of a time trying to figure out how the geyser went off everyday at the same time. He drops a special soap in and it makes it spout it was amazing. It was a great holiday but of course the place we stayed in was probably the worst place in NZ. Two days of no hot showers. That was gross. The beds were lumpy the food was ordinary. So all in all I can now tell you where not to stay. Other than how expensive everything was we had a great weekend. On our way home we went to Waitomo Caves. That is one of the most beautiful places. At the end of the tour you get in a little boat and float through caves with thousands of little glow worms on the ceiling. It looks like a really dark starry night. It was incredible. I would highly recommend doing that if you ever come to NZ.

Well now we are back to the normal every day life. It's ok. I still get my nails done and my natural colour is fixed every four weeks. That is my adult conversation. Hope everyone is keeping well and you all had a great Easter. Talk soon.
