A Very very full day

---

I though yesterday was a full day but today we surpassed it. We saw Waimangu Thermal valley-walk and Lake Rotomahana-cruise. Many geothermal sights and I took lots of pictures. After lunch we went to Te Puia arts and crafts center-mainly a Maori Carving school with some more geothermal sights. Then rested for an hour at the hotel. Then we went to Tamaki Village and had Maori Cultural experience--performance and then dinner, one of our many good buffets, and then farewell ceremony. A realy full day. Back to hotel to pack and to bed.
