Rotorua pictures

For some reason I couldn't upload my Rotorua pictures yesterday, but here they are now! Rotorua was really interesting place with all the maori culture and geothermal activity. Ok, the whole city smells like a fart, like rotten egg (because of the sulphur), but you get used to it quite soon :)

I visited this place called Te Puia, which had been a maori fortress earlier. There was also the Te Whakarewarewa geyser area, and I saw the biggest geyser on the southern hemisphere. I also saw bubbling mud, but the coolest thing was to see (and hear) the geyser erupt!

Some other stuff I did in Rotorua:

I made a friend; we stayed in the same dorm and talked and talked for hours! I saw my first rugby game, and then I found it so interesting, that I watched another one too! It was the World Cup final and my new friend is from South-Africa!
This morning my phone started beeping, because Kimi won the Formula 1 Championship! I never thought that would happen, but I seem to be really happy about it! Thanks dad, for letting me know! If M in Hong Kong is reading this, I hope you watched the race! It's a good excuse to celebrate, because Finns never win anything or do anything remarkable. Let's have party, what do you say?
