Kiwi thanks will bear that in mind
Granjan Personally I wouldn't dream of doing it in anything other than a MoHo and this is the first time for us. Its just so easy and not too much pre planing.
So the adventure continues
We visited Rotorua ohh dear what a disappointment especially for SWMBO. She described as a bit like Blackpool too commercial. It appeared anything to do with Maori was staged and at great expense to you. Good news was i bought some nuts and bolts to fix my suitcase that broke as we loaded the car to go to Birmingham Airport. All for the cost of 50 cents
Off up to Matata next with a stop off at Hells Gate, hot springs and lots of sulphur That cleared the breathing tubes out a bit. A bit steep for entry but done and dusted tee shirt got etc.
By the way if you go to the park in Rotorua you can see smaller springs for nowt and dip your feet in some pools there.
We are now on a free park ( to NZMCA members) a couple of km's from Middle Earth film set.
Its around 40 gbp each to get in so we had a word with a local who said you really need to be a massive fan to go and see it. SWMBO has knocked it on the head and we will be just looking around the obligatory gift shop
Off down to Taupo to spend a day or so then heading further South to where they filmed a lot of The Lord of The Rings, might even meet Gollum
The last pic is the sun setting close to Middle Earth
