Rotorua was a nice little city though the sulphur smell was a little unbearable at times. It is known as the Maori Capitol of NZ but all the visits to Maori villages were way out of my price range, though I would've loved to go to one. In Rotorua we walked along the giant lake, went mountain biking through a redwood Forrest (first time seeing them, haven't seen the California ones), and got quite a bit of souvineer shopping done. There were tons of shops to go to around the city and we ended up constantly just going in circles through the town. The hostel was decent, I liked it better than the one in Wellington. The reason for the sulphur smell is because of thermal activities below ground from a nearby volcano. We went to the thermal park one day and relaxed with our feet in one of the warm pools it was nice.
