Rainy Rotorua


First stop after leaving Cambridge was Tirau, world famous in New Zealand for its corrugated everything. The sheep and ram are buildings...


Even the sign outside the dairy is corrugated.



In Rotorua we freedom camped on Hinemoa Street, right beside the Polynesian Spa (hot pools)...


...and right beside this little pond, complete with fountain.


After a visit to the hot pools with our friends, Malcolm and I went for a walk along this part of the lake, first passing an area full of sculpture...



...and the museum.

This part of the lakeside had steaming mud,lots of birdlife,

and more sculpture.

Looping back to the bus we walked through the museum grounds...

these are two of the carvings around the monument.


Then off to a restaurant for dinner with our friends.
