Rotorua

The unpronounceable thermal village was fun. Houses falling into sinkholes, steam rising up from the paths and kids diving for "pennies" thrown from the bride by tourists. Boiling mud slightly disappointing - either too wet or just a small patch.. Park in town had some thermal wading ponds so we all got our feet wet. Sulphur smell strong in places but not too bad. Took the kids out to the Zorbs on the other side of town - they had a ball and would have gone again if I'd been willing to shell out another $70. Cabin at nearby caravan park suits nicely and lake is at the end of the street - need to try a dawn shot across the lake.
