Last week we went to Rotorua and I think this time we saw the real Rotorua in all it's surrealness - drive just south along the 'Thermal Explorer Highway' and there's areas such as this one (Wai o Tapu) full of hot pools, vents, steaming craters and Geysers - it's awesome to see - the ground is alive!! Spent a morning wandering around Wai o Tapu, then into town for good old pub bangers and mash. The evening we went to the Polynesian Spas - Naturally heated hot pools down by the lake where you can chill out and watch the world go by.
