After saying goodbye to Jacqline and Estee, we went to National Bank in town to get the debit card. Too bad, my card had sent to the wrong address instead of the bank itself. Hence, they make an arrangement to sent the card to Wellington branch next Monday instead.
It took us approximately 3 hours of trip to Rotorua. On the way, we can see cows and sheeps around. BEAUTIFUL! They are so energetic compared to Malaysian's cow as they can climb up the hills.. hehe. The mountain here are very much different from Malaysia as there are only a few trees on the hill, and the hills are mostly with grass only. This should be due to massive deforestration around NZ since many years ago.
We are shocked when we enter Rotorua. area, seeing steam coming out here and there around us. We are at the area closest to the earth crates now. Whuah... Some houses have their own hot spring pools! The sulfur smells at the town brings me back to chemistry class in secondary school.

Bought an all day pass for NZD15 to travel around 3 tourist spot in Rotorua. Yet, we only managed togo to 2 places, Te Puia and The Agrodome Sheep Show. Te-Puia's entrace fee is quite expensive, Yet it worth for the money. The traditional dance, kiwi viewing, some bried introduction of Maori history, their village and several geyser, mudpools, hotspring pools around make the place really fantastic. Due to cold weather, the stim is everyshere, but the place is not warm though. We had "hangi-meal"in one of the restaurant. Here, we had learnt a Moari word "Kia-Ora"which means welcome or hello. Agrodrome Sheep show is quite lame, yet the first chance for us to touch and even carry a lamb!
Mary had a little lamb...little lamb .. on my hand!... kekeke
