Rotorua

While staying at Pukawa, we travelled to Rotorua. We had morning coffee on the lawn beside Lake Okareka.

We visited the Blue Lake.

Lake Tarawera with Mount Tarawera in the background.

The Tarawera Eruption in June 1886 destroyed the Pink and White Terraces on the shores of Lake Rotomahana, which had become an important tourist attaction in the 1880s.
