Tourist Attractions . . .

are an important part of Rotorua's economy and on the way to the hairdresser this afternoon I drove passed  one of the oldest ones.  Te Puia is a one stop shop for Maori culture, geothermal activity, Maori arts and crafts.  It has an impressive entrance way.  In the extra shot I put the camera up to the fence to see inside.  I put the flax close up in because I like it and the carved gateway is for btw :-))
We are off down country to the Wairarapa for a four day weekend to stay with friends.  It is right on the coast so I'm looking forward to the blip opportunities.  I will be off the grid and will catch up again next week.
