Today we woke up early and headed off the the museum. The Rotarua museum is located in the building of the old geothermal baths. As soon as we got to the museum naturally the first thing we did was find the coffe shop and buy coffees and hot chocolates. Once we had finished our drinks we went and watched the "introduction movie" which was surprisingly interesting. It was about Maori history and stories. Also it talked about the colonization by the English and how the Maori coped and adapted to it. The seats moved in the cinema so when the volcano erupted the seats bounced up and down scaring the hell out of us.
After the movie we explored the old baths and made our way though the museum. When we were almost done we walked into another cinema which showed us a movie about the nz battalion in the first and second world war. It was very sad but also very interesting and well made. After the museum we headed home to a house WITH POWER!!!!!! And had a nice warm lunch.
For the rest of the afternoon I read and helped out with the new jigsaw we has started. Mum and dad went for a walk and the girls went to "The other woman".
Having such a great holiday and don't want to go back to school!!
