Our first activity in Rotorua was the Te Puia cultural center. We received lots of exposure to ancient Maori culture and I found it quite interesting. In addition to learning about ancient Maori culture, we also got to see two little kiwi birds and got to see the on-site carving and weaving schools. Very cool stuff!
We also were treated to seeing a natural geyser, very similar to Old Faithful in Yellowstone. It was hot by then. We went for lunch and then headed for our next adventure: luging!
Luging was very fast and very fun. James got us to the front of the line and we were on our way in no time. For those of you who don't know, luging involves going on a track downhill in a cart-type vehicle. There were 3 different tracks: scenic, intermediate, and advanced. I went down the scenic twice and intermediate thrice because the intermediate was voted best track.
After so much fun and adventure, we called it a day and headed home.
The next day was Sunday and so we went to church. It happened to be the Fairy Springs ward conference. After church was over, the ward had a luncheon where once again, the little fed the masses. After church we went for a nice long scenic drive to a couple of lakes and finally to Lake Taupo.
