Its time for Matthew to update the blog with some words of wisdom. Today we left Gisborne after visiting the Poverty Bay Club which has the cafe 1874. This is a place that was a gentleman's club until the early nineties. You can still see the little buttons that you press to get a servant. Then of course there is the Dome Theatre, a room with such style that I had to photograph it extensively. Post some photos soon.
We drove to Rotorua, and arrived about 6pm, a lot of driving. The motel we are staying at the Malfroy Motor Lodge, and from the outside it looks like any other motel. But the owners, Ron and Maira are wonderful and the place is a real treasure. Beautiful gardens and fountains, with sculptures as well. The setting is tranquil and we all enjoyed soaking up the thermal therapy from the mineral pool out back. It is nice to have a bit of time to unwind as we feel like all we have been doing in the last few days is working.
Tomorrow, the cafes of Rotorua...
