Kia Ora! For some reason I can't post a link, but we made it to Rotorua! It smells awful here because it's on a sulphur thermal hot spring. However, we went to a traditional Maori village last night. We learned about their weaponry, poi, plant weaving, and finally the Haka! They also showed us how they would approach an enemy tribe and cooked us a traditional dinner! They were so intense, but also, you apparently greet people by touching noses, which was different! It wouldn't let me embed the video, but here's the link for the All Blacks (rugby team) doing the Haka before a game. It's amazing how green everything is here for the dead of winter, although it's only 45ish degrees here. We also made a pit stop in Hobbiton (Lord of the Rings). Going bungy jumping in 15minutes!
