Rotorua er kendt som jordens roevhul, for det stinker af gasser fra under jorden. Saadan lidt af aeggehoerm. Vi var til Mauri show om aftenen. Rigtig godt. Vi blev vist rundt i en Mauri lejr ude i skoven, efter en krigerisk modtagelse. Kristoffer blev valgt som hoevding, for lige at goere det ekstar spaendende. Vi blev rigtig taget med i legen. ...

Obwohl wir Raglan auch wieder unverschämt früh verlassen haben, wurden wir sofort entschädigt als wir am 24.03.2007 mit dem Stray Bus auf dem Weg nach Roturua waren. Das Landschaftsbild hat einen wieder total umgehauen und das Schlafnachholen tat man nur mit schlechtem Gewissen, denn man hat ja soviel dann nicht sehen können auf dem Weg. Trotzde...

Rotorua - This place was highly recommended by many New Zealanders but I didn't really like it. Plain and simple. I arrived late in the evening to a not so nice hostel with rude rooommates, bugs in the bathroom and a fire alarm going off at 3am. It was called Planet Nomand Backpackers. Don't check it. I spent the day with a guy from Slovenia nam...

Omg! Did everyone just ripped one? We are in Rotorua...one of the smellest places on earth. Just imagine everyone just eating eggs all the time and just ripping it! Basically it's all the sulfer from the geysers. The city's district is based on a Volcanic Plateau so we're basically surronded by geothermal activities including gysers, boiling mud...

With the parental taxi no longer available we booked ourselves onto a bus to Rotorua later in the day. As we had our first taste of New Zealand rain in the morning we headed for an indoor attraction: The Shearing Shed. The animals that are sheared here are not sheep but giant German Angora rabbits! We really only went for the comedy value and th...

Hi We are in Rotorua now... Have been bathing in the thermal pools to relieve our pains today after driving down from the Coromandel... Had a Maori hangi meal and have been street luging - lots of fun! This morning we visited the Wai-o-Tapu Thermal area and saw the geyser and other geothermal oddities. Bye 4 now Caroline and Mark

Dear All, I am currently in Rotorua - a geothermal area in central North Island, New Zealand. We caught the bus early yesterday morning. The driver is a crazy Kiwi called Chops who is also our tour guide. We are all on the 'magic' bus. At lunchtime yesterday we went to the Waitomo caves and I signed up for black water rafting which involved havi...

Just arrived in Rotorua... famous for hot springs and geothermal activity... and that is obvious from about 15 minutes outside the city! Blackwater rafting today... great fun although a little scary! Donned wetsuits, wellies and hard hats and went down into the glowworm caves underground for a combination of swimming, climbing and floating on th...

New Zealand has capitalized on the niche tourist market of those seeking the opportunity to fork over loads of money to do their best to kill themselves. Two years ago when I was here, I jumped off a bridge and out of a plane on back-to-back days. Today, I went zorbing. Basically zorbing is getting into a large inflated ball, in my case filled a...

On the road, with the coast falling away behind us, Joe and I pushed eastward to the tunes of "The Band" Rotorua was our destination and the city greeted us with its distinct, all permeating smell of sulfur. The north island of New Zealand is bisected by a swath of volcanic activity, and Rotorua is directly in the middle of it all. Its a strange...
