Day 3 - Travelled from Waitomo to Rotorua. We stopped at a dam with the highest bridge which was very impressive and the boys being boys were rocking it side to side.
We got into Rotorua and you could smell the sulphur smell like a rotten egg smell. Rotorua is famous for its unusual town as you will see steam coming from under the streets through storm water drains, mud pools and geysers, stayed two nights here.
The first night was amazing probably one of the best things I have done so far on my trip. As a group we went to The Tamaki Tour, which consisted of watching the Maori tribe do their dance and learning about their culture and even shown the Haka, which was brilliant, basically the Haka is like a warm up exercise and a way to scare off the opponent, you will best know it when you see the All backs preform a small version at the start of a rugby match, absolutely brilliant.
We were also shown the Hangi, which is an underground stove and where our food was for that evening.
Watched the Maori men and women preform a concert and the Haka.
We then dined and had the best Lamb, chicken, potatoes, vegetables and desserts, was a proper feast.
I am so glad I did this tour it was so worth it and would recommend everyone to do it if they came to New Zealand, had the most amazing night.
