Today we were caught in a downpour in Rotorua! It was a beautiful day, while we were inside of the museum, but as soon as we went out to explore the lake and hot springs, we got drenched. Being from Oregon, we were okay with this rain until it started seeping through our backpacks to the books we bought and getting our cameras wet. We decided to trudge back to the hostel in the rain and hardcore wind to save our goodies. The wind and rains were so strong we decided to stay inside for a little while before we headed back out to explore more of Rotorua.
