ROTORUA is 150 miles from Auckland and Ruth & I

travelled on Friday to spend an unforgettable weekend

with the MAORIS and enjoy the hot Lakes & hot Springs

We met in the Traditional Maori Meeting House and were

taught to do the HAKA and we were then served  Lamb

with vegetables and rice which had been cooked in the

hot Earth. We had a fabulous time and will visit again

HAERE RA ~ which is MAORI for GOOD BYE !

 

BRIAN is teaching me to do ACROSTICS ~ I sent him 

the draft and he will polish and publish it on MONDAY.  

I know BRIAN loves colour but I asked Him to publish

it in ALL BLACK which is the KIWIS colour for Sport !
