I finally made it to Kuirau Park just outside the city center of Rotorua where bubbling thermal pools and steam vents dot the park. You don't wanna fall into one of these suckers. Most people really don't enjoy the eggy sulphur smell, but I find that I really don't mind it.
I'm staying in a neighborhood in Rotorua just next to the Redwood Park that has over 100 km of mt bike trails. Cassandra (left), Isabel (middle) - both from Germany and also on Working Holiday, and I spent a couple hours riding in the park. They were also staying at the same house for almost a week and were able to give me the lowdown of the wonders of this place. I'm so excited to explore more of these trails because we only rode not even a handful of what is offered...It's such an extensive network of trails and each one is marked beginner/intermediate/difficult, much like a ski area. And there are dedicated mtb trails and walking trails. Perfect!
K, I'll try to load more cause this is just from the past couple of days.
Aloha!
Thanks for keeping the blog going! I spent a few months hitchhiking around the En Zed and it was amazing. I will be following you adventures intently.
