Album 18: Rotorua (43 pictures)

We arrived in Rotorua at about 10 a.m., fronted up to the Information Centre, and said: "We are here just for the day; what should we see?" So at their recommendation, we saw the Maori Church and the thermal areas in Kuirau Park, and bought tickets for a geyser tour and concert at Te Puia. And we went to the Museum. Here are some of the pictures.
