We've been at Rotorua for a few days, mostly sitting out the dull grey weather and rain.  Today was sunny so we did a bit of tiki-touring.  First we went to Hamurana Springs where water comes up after 70 years underground.  It is amazingly clear and pure.  The trees in the redwood forests there were pretty big, planted 100 years ago.  We drove around and to 4 lakes - Rotorua, Rotoiti, Okataina, Rotoehu - then went to Okere Falls where we did another walk and also watched kayakers and rafters going over some of the falls.  not a very arduous day but very pretty scenery!
