Rachel's Travels...
Today I went on the Kiwi Experience trip - East As which takes you all round the East Cape. Left Lake Taupo about 9am. First stop was to a geothermally active mud pool, between Taupo and Rotorua. Only stopped for a short while in Rotorua (will have to spend longer there another time). Then we drove for a few hours until we reached Whakatane which is where you can go to visit white island which is an active volcano (but I didn't). The scenery was incredible, beautiful beaches and coastlines and it was also very green and mountainous. Stopped off at a place called Opotiki and saw saw a Maori gateway. Spent the night at a place called Te Kaha Lodge, which was right on the beach and had a hot tub. It was a homestay and the people, some of whom were Maori were really nice and friendly. It was nice and warm during the day but absolutely freezing at night.
