Second part of day 2: lots of animals
















We drove into Rotorua, found another Japanese restaurant for lunch and then discovered the Paradise Valley Springs Wildlife Park (which sounded rather promising after seeing the devil's bath etc.). It was great! We got to stroke the baby lion (but not her brother who was apparently now a little large to pat). We saw the huge trout and eels. Went on the "tree-tops walkway" and found a very huge pig. It was great. err ... hmmm ... Sha discovered that the lion had sharp teeth and claws!! We also got to watch the large lions being fed bits of horse. We had to stand back so that we didn't get splattered with blood.

Finally we went back into the city, found a hotel, had dinner in the "Pig and Whistle" and then went for a walk around part of the lake while the moon came up. It was beautiful!!
