Woke up to a fairly bright morning after a good night in the YHA at Rotorua. Good modern and airy hostel, away from the noisy bar which was at Hot Rocks Base Hostel just down the road.
Heading back to Taupo today and many people are preparing themselves to do the Tongariro Crossing.
A group got off the bus at The Geothermal Centre to have a look round while the rest of us went to The Redwood Forest. I’m so glad I made this choice as I had already been to Wai O Tapu.
These trees had been brought in from California to see how they would thrive in NZ. They did pretty well!
This pic just gives an idea of their size.
Again, just love nature’s patterns and textures, and the gold and silver of the ferns…
