The bus ride to Rotorua from Auckland!
Some girls went zorbing when we first got their and we went back the next day again!
We went to a Maori cultural experience at the Mitai and they cooked ourfeast under ground on steaming rocks it was the BEST food
i've had since i've been abroad! Delicious!
Maori art
The Maori tribe on their carved canoe!The Maori dances and chants and songs were my favorite part it was
amazing and i learned so much about them it was such a great experience!
The excellent FEAST! We were the only americansthere ended up being 18 nations there!
The next morning we went to Wai-O-Tapu the thermal
wonderland and saw colorful springs, hissing vents, rising steam,
bubbling water and plopping mud!!!! It's a volcanic area in Rotorua NZ.
80-90 degrees celcious boilingggg mud pools that stink!
The geyser that went off!!
The thermal Wonderland natural park with geothermal activity was so pretty and colorful but
smelt so bad!
The group before white water rafting!
I had no clue that i signed up for a grade 5 rapids coursewith the highest waterfall anyone can raft on
at about 7 METERS tall 20 ft or more!!!
It was intense!
The girls zorbingggg on day 1! We went the next day to all go again!
I LOVED IT! If you aren't sure what it even is it's an 11 foot
high inflatable sphere that you ride inside and get pushed down a steep hill!
It was invented in NZ, i did the Zydro which is when you add water so you don't flip you stay on the bottom and slide and twist it was awesome!
Lara and i after water zorbing!!! it was a mix between a rollercoaster and water slide! awesome!
Sara, me and Lara before ATVing!!!

One of my favorite excursions!!!
Me stuck in the mud!!This weekend was absolutely unforgettable and i can't wait for next weekend!!!!! We're going to the bay of islands north of Auckland, i hope it's a little warmer! I heard it's the perfect place to swim with dolphins!!!! <3
