Rotorua, a self-described Thermal Wonderland!

It turned out that our Kiwi buddies Dave and Simon were planning on being down in Rotorua around the same time we'd be passing through. There's an army style obstacle course of 6km in an open competetion, apptly named the "Tough Guy Competition." Everyone seemed to have a great time, no one taking it too seriously, and was more of an excuse for a weekend away and a large night out. We started off the everning with some drinking games before heading out to the bar.



Craig and T here are also familiar with the diverse range of Zoolander poses. Later that night I also found out Craig also is familiar with how to puke on the person standing right next to you after doing a tequila shot.


Simon and me. Dave pulled out having a work function on friday, and no good excuse for not making it down saturday. A beligerant phone message let him know how I felt about it.


14 Kiwis, 3 bars, countless beverages...a good night. Earlier that day we have checked out the "Thermal Wonderland," which is a whole bunch of rank smelling hot mud pools. They also have a gyser that shots off once a day.
