... too fast the first time and crashed, he took it a little slower on the next two goes. Even the beginner track was quite scary.

After Luge, Tory and Lily went horse riding at the Paradise Valley Ventures trekking company. Lily rode all by her self and even managed a nice sitting trot. Heath got to meet Gandalf's horse from the first lord of the rings movie.

After the ...

... she is 6ft 3 so didnt really fit in the cart to begin with and it was such a site.

We all had a great time.

There is a fair amount to do in Rotorua, but the place itself isnt too nice. We were walking home from the hot pools and night and had a bottle chucked at us.... so we never went out at night after that, we played board gmes but had a blast doing it.

Having a great time

... seven hobbit holes were created with untreated timber, ply & polystyrene but only seventeen now remain. The mill & double arch bridge were built out of scaffolding, ply & polystyrene & then glued & painted. The oak tree overlooking Bag End was cut down & brought in from near Matamata. Each branch was numbered & chopped, then transported & bolted together on top of Bag End like a jigsaw puzzle (26 tonnes in total). Artificial leaves were then imported ...

... in NZ to be as **** as the one in Auckland that's why we were so happy when we got to Crash Palace. Our first night in Rotorua was quiet enough as we just chilled out in the common area of the hostel and watched films. We slept in pretty late the next morning so by the time we had figured out what there was to do in Rotorua we realised it was too late in the day to do most of it. We did take a stroll around town and found an Easter Sunday market where we ...

... guy. In fact, I don't even generally think the water is all that pretty or nice and I'm not afraid to say it. This was the most gorgeous beach I have ever seen and one of the prettiest places I have ever been. We were a group of 7 in three double kayaks with our guide, Jenny, in a single. We kayaked from Hahai beach all the way down to Cathedral Cove and then out to some spectacular islands. We kayaked into ...

We had a very busy and varied day today! First we went to another thermal area called Wai-o-Tapu. It is a park that has paths running through it to explain the various thermal features of this old volcanic area. It was a very nice park. We explored the first bit of it, and I have no idea what the technical terms are, but basically what we saw were mud pools, steaming areas, holes, caverns of volcanic rock with steam and mud in them, and other such ...

... crank the machine and how high you fly). Part of me thinks drinking heavily before one or all of these activities is a good idea, but fear you can hide. Vomit is more visible. Mind you, even if I did vomit, I'd probably get away with it, at least for a few minutes - it smells pretty ripe in the Rotorua area anyway. The huge amounts of geothermal activity (there must be ten geothermal attractions in the area, ranging from bathing in ...

Today I woke up around 10am. The other person who was sleeping in my room left really early, probably around 7am to catch a bus, so now I have the entire room to myself oh yeah! This is the first time all trip that I've had a room of my own and it is quite nice. After waking up and jumping on all of the beds in my room, four total, I got dressed, ate breakfast (eggs, toast, and OJ) then headed into town. I met up with a few people who I met at the hostel ...

... was no longer white so we gave her a wash and now she looks great again till the next dirt road. We arrived in Rotorua where we had planned to meet friends from Auckland on the Friday night for the weekend. The weather was OK when they arrived.. but of course on the Saturday morning when we had planned to get up and get out it rained harder than it had done since we arrived. They had weather warnings out within Rotorua that there ...
