Taupo
Adventure capital of the north island and cheapest place in New Zealand to do a skydive due to the airspace only being used by skydive companies - it seemed only fair to go and throw ourselves out of a plane!! So we headed to the tourist information centre to ask about booking. The only trouble was that, it was really cloudy, and all di...

A bus came to pick us up and take us to the Mitai Maori Village. First we were all seated at our tables and our host introduces himself and tells us about the night. He was a very entertaining and colorful Maori man. He asked about what countries were represented and for each he had a greeting in their native tongue. In our group we had 15 natio...

July 12th It was a rainy day today. I didn't get much sleep last night. I awoke every half hour like clock work and was very tired all day. I got up at noon and we ate breakfast then sat around and talked and then ate lunch around 2. I went exploring out in the rain and found the gym, restaurant, pool tennis courts, trampoline, play ground and t...

It was a long journey from Orewa to Rotorua and we had to go through Auckland although we didn't have to leave the motorway. It was horrendous going through the city, the traffic was very congested and slow. Everybody was switching lanes and we saw quite a few going right across all the lanes as they realised they were about to miss their exits,...

hier noch ein paar Fotos von der Reise und unsere Route... Wir haben soviel gesehen, dass man darueber ein ganzes Buch schreiben koennte. Die Suedinsel ist echt unglaublich schoen und ich muss auf jeden Fall nochmal zurueckkehren, um die ganzen Wanderungen nachzuholen, fuer die wir leider nicht genug Zeit hatten. Die Highlights waren jedenfalls ...

on to Rotorua after a lazy morning drying out and nursing calf muscles in Turangi. You smell Rotorua before you get there but waht a unique place. We went down to the Polynesian Spa on the lake front on our first evening and in the thermal pools - 38-42 degrees - an hour is plenty.... today we took the shuttle bus to Waitapu and Waimangu valley ...

Hi Everyone, Arrived into Rotorua late at night but my goodness the smell hit us about 4 kms from the main town. As it is a volcanic and geothermal area, the smell of sulphur is overpowering. The following morning we got all the information on things to do around the area, which was a lot as Rotorua is the most visited place in New Zealand. We d...

Rotorua 4th April Rotorua Rotorua is really cool. The government garders have a great walk past load of thermal bubbling pools of water which are next to a beutiful lake. There is also a park full of steaming lakes, and even little pools where you could soak your travel weary feet. The town seems quite quiet and average with all the same shops a...

Nicknamed "Sulphur city" Rotorua has the most energetic thermal activity in the country, with bubbling mud pools, gurgling hot springs, gushing geysers and evil eggy smells hovering around. A trip to Rotorua is not complete without visiting one of the many thermal reserves. it was off to Wai-O-Taupo Thermal Wonderland an area covering 18 sq km w...

A few places were just skipped due to lack of pictures to put up. Anyway, again, just hurrying to put pics up.....will try to write stories later, but it's hard to find internet places where you can put pics on, so I'll do that now. Okey Dokey, I've got 13 minutes. So, we left Whitianga, heading for Rotorua. As much fun as we were having on the ...
