easter holiday day 3 – easter morning sunday

we went back in time on easter sunday which means we’re just 11 hours ahead of blighty rather than the previous 13 hours.  i think that might make skyping more tricky, but i’m sure we’ll work that out.

easter eggs are very expensive over here even for a small one.  the hollow chocolate affairs are referred to as ‘continental’ easter eggs.

anyway, after the easter bunny had been we trundled down to the local church for a nice easter service.  it was strange being in a church like Arborfield (where we used to go) with a hymns on the organ and a little music group with not an electric guitar in sight.  and there were some very elaborate easter bonnets being worn.

i forgot to say that on the way through town the evening before we saw some steam rising from a local play park.  it turned out to be bubbly mud in the centre of rotorua.

someone had thrown a few cans of beer in to the heat, obviously in an attempt to make them explode.  a few had, but a few others like this one were obviously ready to blow, but hadn’t quite gone yet.  all exciting stuff !
