Today we drove from Hahei to Rotorua.
Here we would have two nights. I was so happy to have a bit more time in one place to catch up some sleep and rest. It was a long journey and when we came in Rotorua I was slightly disappointed. There is a very bad smell in town because of the vulcanisation. It smells like rotten eggs. Even in our room you could still smell it a bit. Luckily it was way less intense then outside though!
In the evening we went on a trip to Maori village; a cultural experience with a traditional hangi meal, Maori songs and dance and interactive cultural performance. It was such an amazing night out and the food was cooked in an underground oven! Super tasty and we were all very hungry as well haha. We enjoyed every bit of it! It was special to learn more about the Maori culture and we were able to ask many questions. If you have the chance to visit the Maori village, I would highly recommend it.
