Rotorua: Day One Hundred and Ten – Afternoon (6 February)


While we were waiting for our lunch to be ready we joined a tour of the village. Whakarewarewa is the permanent home of several Maoris enabling them to live in the traditional way. Our guide was one of these so she was really knowledgeable and also very funny.

Afterwards we went to the cultural show where we learnt how the Maoris use different plants for dyeing their clothes and as medicine and enjoyed some traditional singing and dancing, including the
Haka.
