Rotorua, North Island

We went to Rotorua on our last few days in NZ. We always wanted to see the boiling mud pools and how the thermal activities looked like. At last we could see it here. Its so weird, the mud lead out steam and it smelt like rotten eggs, but I guess thats what nature could do. Rotorua was like a ghost town when we were there, I felt like we were in Tutong somehow, hehehe, it was that quiet! Well, apart from the weather anyway which was less than 10 degrees at the time. Hubby had to drive more than 3 hours to get here using a run-down rented car from a rental car establishment down the road from our apartment, but hey it had a GPS so it was doing its job and got us there, safe and sound.

We also got to see (not tried) one famous activity in NZ, apart from bungy jumping, there is Zorbing. Its called a Zorb where you get into a giant ball and people roll the ball down the hill while you are inside with water surrounds you. It was rather disconcerting since you were at the ball mercy and you didnt know where it would take you, rather scary prospect. But people enjoy it from the look of it. Something my girl wanted to try but I am not sure if thats a good idea.
