Rotorua

Okere Falls
Kayaker over Okere Falls
Blue Lake (Tikitapu)
Green Lake (Rotokakahi)








We were fortunate to sit next to a couple from Rotorua, when we came across the ferry from Picton to Wellington.  

They had some good advice for us tourists.  "Don't stop at any places in town where you see bus loads of tourists getting out!  See the thermal fields at Wai-o-tapu, hike the trail past four waterfalls at Okere Falls, see the blue and green lakes (he didn't know the Maori names of Lake Tikitapu and Lake Rotokakahi), and take a heli ride over the craters.  Sound advice! Unfortunately, the sun wasn't in a good position to bring out the blue and green colors.

  1. Hi Travelers!

    Wow, you are having quite an adventure vacation! Hard to believe all that you've done while in the southern hemisphere.

    A note for Steve...good thing you'll be back soon. Let's just say there is pressure building to put up the holiday lights already!!! You can thank John and Rick for that.

    :)
