New Zealand Photo Journal #5: Hiking Rotorua Lakes

Come join me for this 50-image photo journal as I cycle and hike across New Zealand. In this fifth volume I'll be cycling south to the volcanically active town of Rotorua with pools of bubbling mud, shooting geysers, and lots of natural hot springs to soak in. Next I'll cycle out to Lake Okareka to start a four-day hike along the coastline of several lakes to visit the 100-meter Tarawera Waterfall, and figure out what a 'Trig' is. I hope you enjoy these images and travel thoughts as much as I did photographing them and living the adventure.
