Sha looked so hungry the next morning that the hotel staff provided us with a free cooked breakfast each. Sha is currently creating her first halloween pumpkin. It seems to be a very serious undertaking.After ambling around the Rotorua market for a while we drove off towards the airport. Rotorua airport is not very large. We got rid of our car, checked in and sat around until our small plane arrived.
The views were spectacular. We flew over Lake Taupo and then past the huge volcanoes. It was perfectly clear. The landing in Wellington was also amazing. Unfortunately there was another rugby match on. We hadn't known about this and the taxi driver was a little aghast that we hadn't booked a hotel. Anyway, he dropped us in a seedy area of the town thinking that we may be able to find a room. We didn't, but one the people in one hotel knew of another hotel on the other side of the town that did have a room. We then pulled our case across the town (which luckily is not very large) and got checked in.
After lunch we headed to the cable car and up the hill. We visited a reserve where there were kiwis (but we didn't see any) and then we walked across to the Carter observatory and watched a planetarium show. In the evening, Sha went with me to a pub to watch the New Zealand/England game, but England was losing so badly that it wasn't so much fun!
This isn't the World's greatest blog entry, but I'm being stared at by a huge, grinning pumpkin. It's a bit distracting.

By the way, I was very embarrass that he was the only one who support the England team and said" go, go, England!!" I was so scared whether there will be a beer cup or something flew to us!~lol
