Day 11 July 2nd
We had breakfast in the hotel. Put our luggage on the bus and then we walked to the marina where we boarded a boat for Mokoia Island. We had a guided tour of the island where we learned about plants and their medicianal value. We also learned about the forklore of the Maori people. They got to see the torture stone. Some students walked through the geothermal bath called Hinemoa. We also tried some bread and dip made from the kawa leaves. We boarded the boat and went back to Rotorua where we had high tea at the blue bath house near the museum. Then we went shopping and then we gave the students an opportunity to zorb. Many students got into the giant ball and rolled down the hill with 3 other kids in the ball. They had a great time. We are now in Hamilton and each student is going to their homestays. They will be there for 3 days. Good news I have internet but I am not in contact with your children but I can tell you all of them are now with their families and they have my number if they need us. They were all happy and all the families seem wonderful.
