Maori show: turning up the tourismo
We generally avoid this kind of thing like the plague but alas, it had to be done. Pay your 85$ per person, get picked up at your hotel in a bus, go to the fake old Maori village where warriors arrive in a canoe. Then a show begins with story telling, singing an dancing. The show was actually very good and we were in the front row for all the performances. Following that we ate our buffet plated traditional hangi meal (basically everything is steamed over rocks/dirt using the heat from the natural underground thermal springs giving it a smoky-earthy flavor). The food wasn't too bad!

I only need a couple more pounds and I could do this gig!(Reminds me of Queequag) It's been a long winter, plenty of carbs.
ReplyDeleteAren't you coming home the 10th? Be warned that, "The Don", has tunneled through to your house and both houses have become his presidential campaign headquarters. He is currently only 4% behind the leading Republican candidate, Romney,(4/7 poll). I see a book deal here..."My Neighbor The President".
