Well, it's about 6:30 monday morning and I don't think i've completely adusted to the time zone. Last night was pretty awesome. We went to the Maori cultural dinner and show and got to see some great native dances, hear songs, and eat some great food prepared their native way. At the end we had some great desserts, the best being the pavlova. If you haven't had a chance to try this somewhere, and honestly I don't know where in the US you could, this is some fantastic stuff. It's kinda chewy and kind of like meringue.
Here are a bunch of photos:
