Rotorua
We only ended up spending 2 days in Rotorua, but we managed to squeeze a fair amount into them. Tuesday morning we spent on the “luge”. It was much more fun than we anticipated with Friedi fairly flying down the slope by our 5th go! Then a quick trip to look at some Kiwis (the birds). That evening we had took part in a Maori experience where Friedi learnt how to use the Poi and I learnt a small part of the Haka. This was then followed by a traditional Maori dinner, cooked in a Hangi (not sure how to spell that one…). The evening was topped of with getting to view a very impressive geyser sending water about 15m high! On Wednesday we spent the day in the local Museum before heading to Hells gate in the afternoon. A walking around the impressive bubbling mud pools was great, but nothing compared to the Mud bath and sulphur spa we enjoyed at the end! The only problem is that we still stink like sulphur!
