Te Puia Collage

We have had a very busy few days and have been out for lunch on Friday, Saturday and this afternoon too. At this rate I will forget how to cook.

Today's photos were taken at Te Puia. Te Puia is a Maori cultural centre, located just 5 minutes from Rotorua. Situated in the Whakarewarewa Geothermal Valley, Te Puia’s 60 hectare site is home to the New Zealand Maori Arts and Crafts Institute and also the Pohutu Geyser.

@happypat It is a great place and yet an interesting name. We had to repeat it after the chap in the first picture had said it. Wouldn't pass a test on that one though.
