The ups and downs
Rā 352 Rāhoroi 17 o Hakihea
Phew! A big day out today -Hamilton to National Park via Rotorua and Taupo. First stop Whakarewarewa for some Maori culture and history then Kuirau Park to see mud pools and a hot foot bath. On to Kerosene Creek for a hot swim then to Huka Falls before driving around Lake Taupo to Turangi and over to National Park. Cheating again…who can choose one photo for the day?
Rā 317 Rāhoroi 12 o Whiringa-ā-rangi
A big adventure today. 23km sliding through mud. Great fun. Unfortunately, no photos of me in action, just the beginning and the end! Stunning setting for the start though and a great send off with a legend to set the scene and a haka.

Drove down to Rotorua with my big wee son to collect the car. Treated him to brunch..pretty good. Always good to spend time with my boys.

Final (but probably not) touches to workshop planning for ulearn. The escape to the Redwoods for a run.
Day 32 February 1st 2016
We love having visitors because it means we get out and do stuff we might not otherwise bother to do. Today we went to Rainbow Springs in Rotorua mainly to see kiwi but had fun seeing other birds and reptiles too. Oh, yes… and the Big Splash! “A nine minute journey through time”. They could learn a lot from Disney in terms of presentation; it is a little short on information and detail but the plunge pool at the end caused us great hilarity! Worth another nine minutes of my life to repeat it! This photo is just before we plunge into the abyss!
