Headed south to Waitomo Caves to say Kia Ora to the Gloworms - really good! We just did the one cave and it was brilliant. Would have liked a go at the black water rafting version through the other caves, but the road was calling so we pressed on towards Rotorua
Then had our first night wilderness camping by a lake just west of Rotorua - cool!
The next morning we headed on to Sulphur city and took a dip in the thermal pools at the Polynesian Spa before going for a jet boat ride at the Huka Falls, near Lake Taupo.
The day was a bit showery at times and they said they didn't go out if it was raining - we didn't understand why until we were on the water and it started to shower, it really hurt!!!! You go so fast the rain was like stones. Thankfully the shower only lasted a couple of minutes, and when you are doing 360 degree turns and getting wet from the spins you don't mind to much! The view of the falls was amazing the water is bright bright blue ...
After that we headed slightly north again to the Hidden Valley to explore the geothermal reserve. Awesome ...
Spent the night camping by the side of Lake Taupo
