Rotorua lakes

Took a trip over the Kaimai's to some of the many lakes that surround Rotorua. Our favourite is the blue lake, or Tikitapu, which is an old collapsed volcano crater near the site of Lake / Mount Tarawera, the site of the 1886 eruption that decimated the world famous pink and white terraces and large parts of settlements in the area.
The kayak loaded, we set off on a nice enough day. The kids (all 3 of us!) had a great time, kayaking, swimming and just generally fooling around. Jan and her mum sat on the beach with Paddy, our dog. while we aped about. He even joined us for a bit of swimming and kayak riding himself!
