Saturday evening we attended a dinner show much like the one we had seen in Hawaii at the Polynesian Cultural Center. This one, however, concentrated exclusively on the Maori traditions, including a "hangi", a traditional feast that's cooked underground.
Rotorua is often called a thermal wonderland because of its volcanic activity. Mt. Tarawera erupted in 1886, resulting in the region's bubbling mud pools, geothermal geysers and steam vents. After a hike in the lush green valley, we took a cruise on Lake Rotomahana where we learned more about the history of the geothermal sites.
