Rotorua – Hamurana Springs

We were all honestly quite tired this morning from our late night out so we played lego and more magic Wonder colouring in at our holiday home.

After James’ rest we drove around Lake Rotorua.  Ian suggested we stop at Hamurana Springs and we were delighted with the gorgeous spot.  As soon as we approached the stream we were surrounded with geese and ducks swimming in another of NZ’s famous clear water.

We walked down to the spring and back to the start via the redwood trees.

Once we arrived back at the start, Jason pulled out the kite and had tremendous fun flying it as the wind from Lake Rotorua was quite strong.  It looked so much fun, we all had a turn and had to hold on tight but it certainly was great fun!
