Rotorua, New Zealand

Next was a steamin' hot place called Rotorua.

Its a geothermal area which we explored by bike.

Surprisingly, the geothermal area was in a park right in town.
The dangerous ares were fenced off.

 We rode our bikes all over the park and around a lake.

A bubbling mud pot

 The steamy bike trail

 The beach along the lake looked like a moonscape.

We rode past the old thermal bath house,
now converted into a museum and art gallery.

On our way back to the ship, we toured a kiwi orchard.

 The kiwi are trained to grow up these teepee cables.

Harvest season was over for now, but theses kiwi cars look kinda fun!
