Toropapa yesterday's day01
An hour drive between Napier and Taupō to Toropapa.

We arrived at Toropapa Hutt and set up our equipment after doing our whakatau. What a cool day, we walked the whenua where Tāne o Kura lived, heard the kōrero and then started creating an animation about him.

What an awesome day 🙂
