Rotorua aka Sulphur City. This place smells of egg, constantly. It's renound for it's thermal activity and hot bubbling pools. We mozied around for the first day eating pies and drinking tea!! Then we went to the Polynesian Spa. It's set outside, lots of heated pools which are good for aches and pains and your skin. Spent the best part of the afternoon switching between the pools. It was really cold outside which was fab because the pools are so hot you can stand outside dripping wet in your bikini for ages afterwards and not be in the slightest cold. I'll keep you posted re the onset of flu!! The pools overlooked the lake which was a great setting. That evening i dyed my hair as the sun had faded it in Fiji so badly and it started to go a tinge of green. The suplhur pools really didn't help it at all, but am now restored brunette again yippee!! We organised hiring a car for the next month and set off the following day for Wai o Tapu en route to Tapoe.
