Well, internet has been hard to come by, but we have been anything but idle.
You would think that after zorbing and shweeb on Christmas eve, it couldn't get better.
WRONG!
On Christmas day, we started with land luge. These little carts proved so addictive, we elected to buy everyone a third run, then a lot of the kids paid for their own forth or even fifth run.
We experienced some minor injuries with some road rash (including your intrepid leader, ouch!).
After the luge (and the kids were very reluctant to leave), we haded to Whakatane beach for our barbque. We had a few go kayaking, others went and played in the Pacific Ocean. From the other side :-). We tried hard, but we couldn't see home. The BBQ, cooked by Tanner Boles, was awesome! We've been meeting a few scouts everywhere we go and doing some trading as well.
After Whakatane, back to Rotorua for a Hangi. That is a sort of Maori Luau. I got selected, with Jase Kasperowitz, to do the Haka. I'm not too good at it and I sure hope they don't show the film at the party. Diana Slone was selected to use the poi balls. It was a great show.
Our accommodations in Rotorua was a sea scout den on lake rotorua right at the end of the main street of town. It was great being on the lakefront, but the den was rather small. Everyone did great with getting things done, and all had a very Merry Christmas. Our driver, Glen, even joined us for the bbq. He also decorated the bus for Christmas. The weather was gorgeous, clear blue skies and warm. Perfect for the beach.
