Lady Knox Geyser
Boiling mud pools
The Artists Palette at Wai-O-Tapu Geothermal Wonderland. Chemical deposits cause the different coloured pools.
We took a Gondola ride up to the Skyline centre for a view across Lake Rotorua and found this luge track - well we had to have a go!
We are really a couple of big kids.
The view across Lake Rotorua.
We went to a Hangi and Maori cultural evening at Mitai Village just outside Rotorua. The Hangi is the traditional Maori cooking method. Large rocks are heated in an open fire and then the food is buried with the hot rocks and left to steam.
