Waganui Saturday March 12, 2001

Hi all
After climbing Mt Taranaki (a volcano) near New Plymouth, for 4.5 hours in a perfect weather, we came to our hotel to see there was a huge eathquake and tsunami in Japan.  There is a tsunami advisory and alert for the North Island, and it did hit but was only 15cm-40cm high, and of course we are not that close to the water....
 
We are in Wanganui and will be heading to either Wellington or Rotorua after today.  Taking our time and driving and enjoying the scenery.  Morning drives are great, good shots, and walking and exploring in the afternoon. and wine in the evening.  Lots of great red wines in NZ
 
All is well and will update again
 
Ernie and Jean
