If We Dig It They Will Come




Billed as the Pompei of New Zealand, we visited the Buried Village, a remote place that served travelers on their way to the Pink and White Terraces (a wonder of the modern world), a series of step pools now covered by the volcanic erruption. Pictured here are Alden and Drake pumping the water pump in area created to give viewers an idea of what life was like. Hmn. We have to admit some disappointment with the village. Not sure what I was anticipating but...who can forget National Geographic's pictural depiction of Pompeii? Tough to follow up.
