Here are a couple of extra photos of our day out. The first is looking down the stream towards the lake with the silica terraces on the left. Apparently until the 1970s the lake came right up to here, but as you can see from the photo, you can't even see the lake.
The other photo is a close up of the hill side shown in the previous post, so you can see the dense tree fern cover.
Too tired to go on to Taupo or Hamilton as originally planned, we headed back to Cambridge. Stopped at the supermarket in Rotorua for a new face flannel. Of course we couldn't resist a look round while we were there and came out carrying beer, crisps and dips and had bought a lovely plant for Diane. So then we had to stop at Fran's on the way back to drop off the plant, but Diane wasn't in.
Got home and had omelette made with yellow peppers, onion and NZ artisan peccorini cheese served with green beans, we had some melon to start too and were going to have strawberries, kiwi fruit meringue and crème fraise for afters but we were too stuffed to move.
