Well that is the English name at least. Today after first running some errands in Rotorua, we headed up to the lake area nearby. We took a really nice hike/walk around the lake and stopped halfway to have a bit of lunch on a little sand beach and then lounge in the sun. It was really nice to just relax and watch the ducks and clouds float by. Luckily the spot we picked must have had a type of bush that the cicadas didn't like. There are places were they are so so loud. And often the vegetation is very tropical looking, like Hawaii. In the evening we drove south towards Lake Taupo and stayed alongside a beautiful river at a place called Reid's Farm. They donated the land to be a free campsite for campers/backpackers/etc. Very cool. The river in this area is famous with kayakers and their is even a slalom course like you see in the olympics. Unfortunetly there wasn't anyone out while we were there.
