Rotorua - Rotorua, New Zealand
Stayed at the Hot Rock Hostel which was fantastic as, like most places in Rotorua, it's built on top of a hot spring and every where was warm including the outdoor pool, which was like a bath.The only down side of all this geothermal.
The Lava Bar
With a big screen TV, a sun deck and a thumping dance floor, The Lava Bar is Rotorua's most popular night spot! You'll meet "the locals" as well as merry travellers from all over the world at this friendly bar.
