Something different. We just came from Kuirau Park. It was amazing. We're staying for two days and going to Te Puia tonight and Hobbiton tomorrow.

It seems to be an interesting and attractive place with a nice lake and with the hot steams and so on. There are other attractions like rafting that I have heard about. There are a lot of things to do.
