Finally, the exam was over and after a nice farewell- dinner at the viaduct I set off on Sunday morning together with a classmate for Rotorua. We travelled with this extremely cheap bus, ManaBus, and I tell you, it's amazing! You even get icecream!
Once in Rotorua, we noticed one thing right from the beginning: it really stinks! And another thing: it is hard to orientate, but just follow your nose and it will lead you to all geothermal highlights.
Except that it smells of rotten eggs, Rotorua is really fascinating. Already when you just walk through the town and the beautiful lakefront, you come across soooo many stunning bubbling holes and little geysirs.
Today we had a day tour to Waiotapu, the geothermal wonderland. There is a lot happening. Everywhere you can see boiling water coming out of holes, steam rising up into the air and lakes in diverse colours. It is simply special.
In the afternoon our tour brought us into e Maori Village called whakewarewa. Maori from this tribe still live there and they use the geothermal things to take baths, to cook or to take benefit from the healing steams. Not only did we see a live maoro performance, but we also saw a geysir erupting and ate a hangi meal. Yuuuum!
And this was the last evening before I split up with Myriam. So we went out for dinner, a walk and afterwards a nice dessert.
