6am BRRrrrrr! Ye *******, that's a chilly wake up call if ever there was one. The clear skies had super cooled the morning air with the ultimate efficiency, there is absolutely no point in trying to go back to sleep. I had set my alarm the nigh before for 06:30 in a bid to get up and go for a run to try and revialise myself after three days of t...

Thermal action in Rotorua, Clare whats the smell, did you xxxx? Tuesday 2nd September We awoke to rendition of two Tuis singing in the garden and after an early breakfast and having finally decided what to do in Rotorua we set off for a Florence and Phil special ticky tour of the town and the museum. We were then dropped at TaPuia Maori cultural...

We woke up early and headed to Wai-o-tapu Thermal Park. Everywhere in Rotorua smells like rotten eggs bc of the sulfur, it smells like 100 stink bombs in the park. We walked past collapsed craters, some w boiling water Adan steaming grounds. Also saw terraces, mud pools, geysers, and the champagne pool. One of the craters was aptly named Birds N...

KT: Stayed in a lovely hostel in Rotorua (Treks) and shared a room with a crazy canadian brother & sister (who could sleep forever & had a very loud snore!). Our main activity here being white water rafting. We opted to raft down the Kaituna River the main reason being we wanted to raft down the 7m Okere Falls, apparently the largest com...

Hey again everyone! Well, it's my last day in Rotorua today and I couldn't be more excited. I'm quickly figuring out that 9 days is a long time to stay in one area, especially when the cities here are so small and SO expensive. Quite possibly the best thing about my tour (which I hop on again in 2hrs) is that the food is already paid for! So I t...

Welcome to Rotorua the eggy smelling active volcano and geisers land. Checked into my accommodation and instantly noticed the non-helpfulness of the staff and some what "Butlins" holiday camp accommodation. Oh well I am here for 4 nights. Since I have arrived it has done nothing but rained heavily. I am not use to rain but glorious sun to do an...

Hi All 9 - 10 March Well after the delights of Paihia I drove to the Northern most town of the North Island - Kaitaia. There's not much at the town, but the tours that head up the 90mile beach and the Cape Reinga - the Northern most point with a lighthouse. I stayed in a very good and friendly hostel here and took a day trip with several others ...

Hallo, nach drei Wochen Sued- und einer Woche Nordinsel bin ich wieder "zu Hause" in Rotorua und Mama ist ebenfalls gut wieder in der kalten Heimat gelandet... Hier schon mal ein paar Fotos, weitere Bilder sowie unsere Reiseroute folgen in Kuerze. Es war jedenfalls unglaublich schoen!!! Bis gleich!

Rotorua is an area of intense geothermal activity and it stinks! The whole town smells of eggs and its not entirely pleasant. We walked around the hot pools of mud bubbling up in the park before heading out for a walk around another lake in the area which was beautiful. We found a quiet beach and went for a swim - well it saved finding a campsit...

More torrential rain overnight but think the clouds have run out of water fortunately. Drove further north to Wai-o-Tapu Thermal 'Wonderland' where we first start off at the Lady Knox Geyser which goes off every day at 10.15am. We wondered how come the time was so precise but some guy just throws in a load of soap and it goes off not long after....
