12 November Rotorua to Napier

looking for the Green Lake which the Maoris treat as sacred and do not allow to be used but this is actually Lake Tarawera - there are a lot of lakes in New Zealand

The Blue Lake, Rotorua - distinguished from Lake Rotorua because it's blue and doesn't smell

The steaming cliffs - can't stand the heat, that's why J stays out of the kitchen

Boiling sulphurous water in Rotorua

Snow capped mount Taupo seen across Lake Taupo - the crater left by the 1855 earthquake

Huka Falls - huge volume of water travelling very fast!

...the elusive target

One of B's attempts to get a hole in one across the water ....

Hunter-gatherer still busy
