Rotorua

We spent a night in Taupo and enjoyed a private thermal mineral pool at our campsite. After moving up to Rotorua we visited Wai-O-Tapu thermal wonderland, which was cool. There was bubbling mud, smoking vents, white terraces and the champagne pool. Afterwards we bathed in Kerosene creek - as in the photo. The creek was about 40c, like a hot bath. We managed to go to a concert too! Boyz 2 Men and Ka Ci and Jo Jo were playing in the town on one of the nights we were there. We thought we had better do one of the activities NZ is famous for, so we went Zorbing! Luckily they weren't doing the harnessed rides, as it was too windy, so we got to roll down the hill in the big plasic ball full of warm water-it was great fun.
