Rotorua is famous for their geothermal pools, ie. hot springs and the smell of sulphur. At first, the smell does not bother me, but around Day 2, it becomes a little too much. The North Island also inhabits the majority of the Maori tribes. To get the Maori Experience, I visit Whakarewarewa Village.

Welcome to the Maori village – Tewhakarewarewatangaoteopetauaawahiao. It’s a mouthful indeed, hence the short form “Whakarewarewa”.
