Rotorua

---

Today we went to a lovely Maori Village called Whakarewarewa. We had a guided tour and watched a Maori show - it was very interesting. The geyser provided me with some good photo opportunities. We then had a phone call from Carrie and Alex to say that they would arrive in Town today. We had a hungi roll for lunch whilst at the Village and then went in to meet Carrie and Alex. We drove down to the lake for ice-creams and then went out for dinner to the Pig and Whistle. Tonight we went and soaked in the Polynesian Hot springs - very relaxing.
