Rotorua
First off today, a trip round Lake Rotorua with a picture stop:
Then a stop at the Skyride gondola and luge for a cable car trip up the hill and a go on the luge (like a soapbox car down a winding route back down the mountain) with a chairlift back to the top.
Next stop was Wai-O-Tapu thermal wonderland where they have bubbling sulphur pools (smelly) with lots of strange colours from the minerals that are brought up from the rocks underground
Then we continued on to Taupo and our motel for the night. We had a proper little kitchen area so cooked dinner rather than eat out again.
Oh, and Tom thinks this is the best McDonalds ever (but we didn’t go in)

I don’t think Tracey fully conveyed how cool the Luge was. Here’s a couple of vids to help demonstrate:

The photos of the sulphur pools in Wai-O-Tapu look amazing. I reckon yoou definitely chose the right half of New Zealand to go to.
