On the way to our next stop - Rotorua we stopped off in Hobbiton, th efilming location of Lord of the Rings, didnt stay here long it was just a quick photo stop... We then got into Rotorua where we did Lugeing! it was so funny...i was almost wetting myself as we went down the scenic route first which is the first route you have to go down to get the hang of it! (its basically go-karting down a massive track!
We all found it relatively easy so we all thought we were hardcore and went on the advanced track! OMG lol so funny! i went down behind Ellen and she was bobbing all over the place i just laughed fromt he top to the bottom! Laughter lines were massive by the end of the day - we had 5 runs which we could do! so glad we did 5 and not 3...Ellen then said she was gonna go down with no breaks at all - she ended up coming of the track - which i was laughing even more - she didnt hurt herself if she had i would have stopped! Or would i have done - i was then in the lead! lol! na i would have done really!! lol

Left Rotorua today and got on the 'East As' bus with Rex the driver - really sweet little old man! there were 10 of us on the bus. 9 girls and one lad! this is where we met Kate and Dale (these two are so cool). Our first stop is Tatapouri, they took us to a champaign pool which was amazing - then we went rock sledging with Leo and Shaun, this was such a cool thing - sliding down a rock face with water running down on an inflatable! had to pick your feet up though or they would get scraped on the rock :( after we got back and had some grub then went and sat around a fire for the night...

Tiday we went to where the film ' whale rider' was filmed! And went to a local Maori tribe - which was cool - Ellen was our spokes person and did a good job of it! then we had to sing a song which Rex taught us... bles rex gotta love him! We stayed at this wicked little place - and went horse riding along this fantastic beach, Me Dale and Rex were galloping through the bushes - it was amazing! We had a 'Hungi' tonight - basically a roast dinner! it was so good! load of veg :) After playing a game of rounders with the girls we sat round a fire that Rex helped us make and toasted Marshmallows - i ended up playing with the logs on the fire and almost launched it at this girl - ooops sorry! (she was fine!) Ellen, Stephanie and Sarah went possum shooting! and came back with them :( Ellen brought hers into our dorm - they looked so cute! well apart from Sarahs possum she shot the jaw of it! :(

What a fab start to the day - the rickety old bus that we were on had broken down, so there we were the 10 of us pushing this bus down the road trying to get it started - i reckon that there was nothing wrong with it! lol! Reg took loads of pics of us pushing it when we looked back at the pics they were all of our bums! (PERVE!! lol)
We drove to 'East Cape' where there was 752 steps up to this lighthouse! amazing views but hmmmm too many steps! lol we drive over to Te Kaha - amazing little place this was where we went fishing ( and ellen shook her bottom at the owner, he didnt mind though) and caught our dinner for the night and then ended up watching the sun set over the sea whilst sitting in a hot tub! what better way to finish a day off! pure heaven!!!! but had the best fish and chips fresh from the sea! would def go back there!

Rex woke us all up this morning (bless him) we got sung a gopodbye song from the owners they sung it in Maori which was cool - and then they sung Hotel California with a twist wish i could remember the words it was a right giggle! Rex took us to a little stream which was so hot - he told us a cute little story of when he was a lad and used to have his own little spot! ( cheeky b*****!!) lol and then headed back to rotoura!
That was the end of Rex and east as - so sad!
