Trip to Rotorua
Headed from Waitomo to Rotorua. On the way we passed though some lovely townships. Stopped at Cambridge and checked out their open street market that was going on along an number of streets. Then we came to Tirau and it's very unique iSite and building signs.
Tirau
The iSite building (information building) and the building next to it were corrugated structures. Nothing unusual there, except one was a dog and the other was a sheep! Brilliant! The dog even had its own "dog tag". Made us stop, takes some photos and go in.

Rotorua
We arrived in Rotorua and wandered around the picturesque town, trying our best to ignore the smell of sulphur. For those who don't know its is in a volcanic region. We had a look at the liquid mud and hot water springs and then down to relax by the lake. In the evening we went to the Te Po Indigenous Evening Expierience. Very enjoyable.
