Rotorua for the third time

Next ont he Bus was Rotorua - the geothermal capital of New Zealand.

I checked back into Hot Rocks hostel, with its nice heated swimming pool, and we all then headed off to go luging. Somehow I managed to do 3 luge runs without falling off - so no concrete burn. This lack of accidents is unusual for me! The evening was spent at a Maori Hangi meal an cultural performance which was very enjoyable. The food was great, and there was heaps of it!

The next day I was meant to be back on the bus, but I decided the day would be better spent out Mountain Biking in the local forest, which has 60km + of single track. I rented a steed from Bike Vegas (Highly Reccomended!) and set out. It took me 3 hours to screw up ;-) … I hit a set of doubles on the nice downhil run, and managed to go nose first into the secod jump - and then face planted. Somehow I got my shin into the bars again, smashing it back up where I broke it last time! Stupid bad luck / judgement.
