July 3rd in New Zealand




Woke up early to take a 3-stop tour around Rotorua. We were surprised to find a huge bus with a personal driver waiting just for us! Our first stop was a tour of "Te Puia", a Maori Arts and Crafts Institute that resides within an incredible thermal area. We learned about the Maori talents, toured the park, and waited for the famous geyser to erupt. It's a very eery place as wisps of fog and sulfur blur the landscape!

Our second stop was the "Agrodome" to learn about all the varieties of sheep and watch a shearing. We also got to hold some sheep dog puppies!

Our last stop was the "Rainbow Farm" where we learned all about raising trout, unique properties of the trees, and got to see a real kiwi! They even took a picture of the 3 of us.
