The drive from Tongariro on a teeny tiny ultra-windy road was GORGEOUS. I possibly saw more sheep than live in many cities.

Kia Ora, Napier! #ProfSamLectureTour

A view from a bridge, looking down on a wide, smooth river that's very clear so you can easily see the bottom.  The banks are steep and tall, and there are tall, bright green hills and dark green trees.  The sky above is bright blue with puffy white clouds.

@sundogplanets I’m looking forward to Wellington, and I hope one of Beatrice Tinsley’s relatives might come with me 😀

@sundogplanets If you have to drive to New Ply I think via Whanganui will be less intense than back via Taupō.
Good luck!

@sundogplanets If you're interested in seeing the Dominon Observatory while in Wellington, a friend of mine leases it, I'm sure he'd be happy to show you inside.
