We drove on Tauranga (Bay of Plenty), again only one full day here so we walked up the Mount (a big hill that they are so proud of!) I (Grace) could opnly make it up half way but I (Andy) continued undetered to the sumit. Some good vies up here of the bay. We then had a go on the Gyrate Plane (Google it!). It is hard to explain but it is like a helicopter and plane morphed into one. It has a rota blade above like a helicopter and also a rota blade behind to power it, you take off and land like an aeroplane. This was a great experience. It is a two seater, you fly in the front seat and the instructor is in the seat behind and it is all open. You get 40 minutes in the air and the instructor lets you fly it too - all for 40 pounds - bargin. We both went up and really enjoyed it. To finish the day we went to the hot spa pools, these were really relaxing after a busy day. The next day before we moved on to Rotoura we did Blokarts (again, Google it!). These are bascially karts but instead of an engine you have a sail. The particular Blokart place had a proper race track so we raced around the track trying to catch the wind right. It was a lot of fun and I (Andy) got mine on 2 wheels a few times. We then drove onto Rotoura.
