Travelogues Rotorua

To be clear, the name Hellsgate doesn't really do the spa justice. The only thing that is diabolical is the entrance fee of around 50 euros. Otherwise you don't actually get...

Along the Desert Road (50 km at an altitude of 1000m) through the Rangipo Desert, which is actually not a desert. But the barren landscape with scree fields and clumps of grass...

Left Waihi Beach at 8 am for Rotorua. The day was very rainy and I'm already looking forward to the Waikite Valley, a thermal bath with a campsite. But this does not happen...

Hell's Gate, the name is set. In this park, it boils and smokes from all the earth holes. The layer of earth here is 2.5 meters thick. Here, it's not 'Caution, thin ice', but...

Today we climbed the tallest waterfall in the North Island. It was a challenging climb but totally worth it! Afterwards, we continued to Roturua to a campsite at Lake Okareka.

The next morning we went back to the town to possibly buy a 'Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hobbit' book. We were not disappointed and could spend the rest of the Black Friday...
