On our way out of Taupo we stopped at the Caters of The Moon geothernal area.  Most of the Taupo/Rotorua area is full of Geothermal activity.  It was raining and quite misty so we just had a quick look around.  We drove to Rotorua and went straight to the Agrodome.  We were jus in time to catch the sheep show.  I had seen the show last time I was here and had enjoyed it so thought  that Mum and Andrew might like it which they did.  The main point of the show is to demonstrate all the different types of sheep found in NZ but it is done in an entertaining way.  After a quick lunch, we headed to the Zorb site.  I think the best way to explain zorbing is to think of a washing machine/hamster ball for humans.  You climb inside a large plastic ball, put water inside then get rolled down a hill.  It sound a bit bizarre but is great fun.  For the first zorb, I was in the ball with Andrew.  I get a bit claustrophobic sometimes and thought that Andrew would be a good distraction.  We were both laughing hysterically by the time we were let out of the zorb!!  I was soaking wet and had really enjoyed it so decided to do it again.  This time we went individually and did the zigzag course.  After we had finished with the zorb, we headed for the Gondola and luge. We went up Mount Ngongotaha by gondola and whilst Mum sat in the restaurant area, Andrew and I had 5 goes each on the luge. It started rainging during our first go and by the time we got back to the top of the track on the stairlift we were soaked to the skin (for the second time that day). Seeing as we were already wet, we carried on. The luge is so much fun but Andrew won all the races!! After the luge and gondola it was time to head to our hostel to check in and get dry. We were getting picked up at 6.15pm to go to the Tamaki Maori village for a cultural experience. Our driver was hilarious. He welcomed us in 56 different languages and kept us entertained on the drive out to the village. We were given the traditional welcome than looked aroun the village before watching a Maori performance. Then we went to a dining room for a hangi meal. The drive home was very interesting. Everyone had to sing songs from their home countries which most people did apart from the miserable American family!! Our driver then drove the bus round and round a roundabout whilst singing "here we go round the mulberry bush".
