Rotorua; Thurs., Nov. 23. Afternoon

We drove south from Rotorua to see the Buried Village of Te Wairoa. This is a result of a massive volcanic eruption of Mount Tarawera in 1886 when 153 people were killed. Over the last 80 years it has been excavated and a very well thought out park created around it.

A view of Mount Tarawera as it is today.
Another photograph of the most photographed building in Rotorua. It was built as a bathhouse but is now a Museum. It is part of the municipal park called Government Park.
