Default Rising above Rotorua

These Gondolas take you up the side of a hill to a restaurant that over looks Rotorua, one of NZs main tourist spots.

Hi Angela. These look really neat. What time of year did you take them?

We just been to Putaruru on the weekend and did the Te Waihou walkway (back end though as no suitable footwear). Got some info on the area including Rotorua and decided that as we have been married for 6 years and not had a honeymoon, that we would do Rotorua in Jan/Feb.

Thanks Michelle, I took these yesterday. The Te Waihou walkway is my favourite walk, the water is soooo clear. There is so much to do in Rotorua and well worth spending a few days there.

Angel, It is so enjoyable to see your beautiful spring colors. The purples are so rich, especially contrasted with the lush green. Nice angle on the gondolas.
