Rotorua

Rotorua was a nice place. The town itself isn't vey big, but there are nice things to see. It is also the locatioin of the only thermal vents in the southern hemisphere. You can smell a light odor of sulfur everywhere. It isn't obnoxious, it's just there. We attended a hangi (dinner) and a Maori concert which was lots of fun. We visited the Agrodome for a sheep show, rainbow springs, Te Puia and Waitomo glow worm caves. It was a lot of fun.
