 An old wooden church made of those beautiful woods.

 It was cute the way they have trained the all of the different kinds of sheep for the tourist.  They all laid down and seemed to be contently chewing their cud.

 There are no full blooded Maori people left after the Europeans came with their guns, but this woman has the chin tattoo design that was a sign of dignity.

In front of the Sky tower.  Except for whatever ailed us at the end, we thoroughly enjoyed our trip!
