A very interesting stop about 20km from Rotorua was Okere Falls. You can see the photos below of 2 of the falls. Originally it was a hydro power station and is now a very popular rafting site. As we walked to the first falls a lady from a rafting company came to take photos as 2 rafts were due. We watched them and then walked to the second falls and there is a photo of one raft going down. She said that falls was the longest drop of any falls in the world that commercial rafts go down.
The first photo is of the hedges that are grown around the kiwi fruit vines in the Te Puke area which is said to be the Kiwi Fruit capital. And of course Faye found some sheep on the green grass...The final photo is the Tourist Info Centre. Went there first and them to our camp for 3 nights.
Last night we didn’t sleep real well and Faye wasn’t 100% but is much better today. So this afternoon did some washing and then relaxed whilst it rained.
This park has a few thermal hot springs so visited them later in the afternoon.
And tonight is the first time we have TV - 25 channels. We haven’t tuned it every night but only available in major centres.
Tomorrow booked into a Maori Village and a hangi lunch.
