| Camping at Lake Rerewhakaaitu |
From our wonderful pitch next to the Lake we travelled for about twenty minutes back on ourselves to get to the Wai-O-Tapu Geothermal Park in time for the the Lady Know Geyser demonstration at 10am. We arrived early and had a chance to visit the park before it got really busy and too hot in the sunshine.

The geothermal site was amazing - everywhere you put your feet was hot and smelled of sulphur - very surreal but enjoyable. We stayed for a very long time before heading off towards the Northern coast and a place called Mount Maunganui, not far from Tauranga.
We booked ourselves for a dolphin tour at the tourist office which would leave early the next morning and found a camp site right next to the sea.
