My sense of smell is going to be tested I hear

One thing I have noticed about New Zealand is how laid back the people are. They are not in any hurry. No rushing around. No let’s get it done. They take their time and enjoy the moment.

This morning it took almost twenty minutes to get my latte and sourdough toast for breakfast. This has not been unusual. Just something to get use too. I am not yet.

Where are we off to now? What city or town on New Zealand? Let me show you.

Rotorua here we come.

The airport.

Very modern.

One unique thing about flying domestically in New Zealand is there is no security screening at all. You weigh and check your bags. We were just under the acceptable weights. Then you wait for your plane to be called. I looked it up and they found the cost of screening was not worth the investment. Interesting approach.

5782 is our flight.

We are flying at 18,000 feet and being able to enjoy the sights.

I told you my sense of smell was going to be tested. I could smell this odor everywhere we walked.

Not true. It is everywhere.

We had a special dinner tonight and just came home late. I will fill you in on the next blog.
