Back home, safe and sound

[noahgibbs]

We're back home. All's well. We're unpacking, getting some cleaning started and whatnot. I've been out of phone and email contact for two weeks, and I'm not even going to try to catch up fully on LJ. Feel free to point me at (and/or resend) anything really important. I'll try and get more or less up to date over the weekend.

Had lots of fun! It was awesome. I'll try to write about bits of it as they occur to me. If there's anything you're curious about, I can also do requests :-)

The place was great. Basically little condos, all around an inlet of Lake Rotorua. They weren't much to look at on the outside (corrugated sheet-metal, believe it or not), and they were a bit noisy, but quite comfortable inside, with very reasonable furnishings, including a very reasonable kitchen. We had a little trouble figuring out all the switches and the oven timer, but those were more "the appliance uses unfamiliar settings", which could have happened just as easily in the states.

There was a central office that was happy to provide extras of the basic amenities, and various (usually New-Zealand-themed) movies on DVD. The central cafe thing was nothing special and closed 3-4 days a week, but that was okay because it was within a 15-30 minutes drive of Rotorua, which had absolutely fantastic food.
