Well today was a very early start, we had to get up at 6.30 to get the coach. We stopped off on the way in Matamata, or as some of you might know it as Hobbiton, yes it was where the Shire was in Lord of the Rings. We didn't get to see anything really as we didn't have time, hopefully we will be able to come back here. We arrived in Rotorua at about 1pm, we had a wonder round. This town has got a real funny smell, a bit like rotten eggs! people keep saying we will get used to it but i very much doubt it! Hopefully here we will be able to spend lots of time in hot pools and mud baths, can't wait!
