After a wonderful breakfast where I made a perfect omellete with camembert cheese almost gourmet!  We decided to have a walk around Rotorua.  The first part of the walk had us walking past numerous hot pools, geysers and hot mud pools very interesting and a little scary to be so close to a natural phenomenon.

 

Note: Added this video to new website – 2025!

After passing this natural area we went to the Government Gardens.  Absolutely beautiful.  The history in this area is great.

We decided to check up on a couple of camping stores and bought Ralf some new Keen sandals and a few extra bits and bobs to make life a little easier.  We met a really nice sales person called Emma, she asked how long we were going to be in Rotorua and wanted to take us around on Sunday. We will be gone by Sunday, she then proceeded to give us her email address as she will be back in Dunedin in February and will show us around there if we are in that area at the same time.

Tomorrow we are going to take a second rest day.  So that I can finalize the blogs and Ralf can sort his photos.  His photos are much better than mine.
