Rotorua and the rain!

After some glorious days up in the Bay of Islands where the sun shone and we all managed to get sunburn whilst on the water watching dolphins. We find ourselves in Rotorua in the rain! The long drive from Russell via the Coromondel peninsular with an overnight stop in Thames was hard going but we eventually made it.

The Sunkist in Thames, above, was our first taste of backpacker accomodation and it was a great place to stay and a bit of fun.
Anyway back to Rotorua and the rain, we booked a trip on the Duck, a world war 2 apmphibious transport that took us around the town and onto two of the lakes.......it poured down most of the way.

Then it was rafting and the rain didn't matter at all! We got soaked! But what fun we had, it was a great day out in the rain.
Oh and did I mention that we caught up with the All Blacks Rugby Roadshow and the Web Ellis Trophy.
Rain or no rain we had fun in Rotorua!
