Hey guys! So yesterday we went to Rotorua to the Redwood Forest and to Kuirau Park! We left 20 mins late because they took forever to put our lunches under the bus so we had to book it through the trail in Redwood Forest. That was a hitchhike! The mountains and hills are soo steep here, they even made stairs out of dirt and wood in the pathways so we could get up the trail. It felt amazing to get to the top and be surrounded with beautiful trees! The size of Redwood trees are amazing! After Redwood Forest we went to Kuirau Park where we ate lunch and were able to see hot springs around the park! It was a very unique thing to witness but the smell was terrible. It smelled very much like sulfur throughout areas of the park but it was beautiful to see nonetheless! Today we had our trip to the Hobbit movie set where we were able to walk around through the hobbit holes and have lunch! It was incredible to be walking right where famous scenes were shot and see the way they manipulated the size of the hobbits and learn some behind the scenes secrects about the set! I am very exhausted from being out almost every day so tomorrow after church I plan on going to the gym, doing wash, and relaxing before classes start on Monday!
