Rotorua - Blogabond

Rotorua (46km, 1041km total) - It was dark in our tree cave, so we slept in quite late. I think I made it till about 10:30 and woke Shad up around 11. The road started out fairly flat and there was little wind, but for some reason both Shad and I found it extremely difficult. I attributed it to sleeping in cursed woods. We finally made it to Okere Falls and stopped for lunch at a trendy little roadside cafe.

The last bit to Rotorua was decently flat, although the wind (as always) was blowing in the wrong direction. We rode by the airport where the skydiving was. We both wanted to go, if only it didn't cost $400 a jump. In town we spent some time gathering info at the I-site and then another bit of time in a cafe before finally heading down to our couchsurf at Deborah's.

Deborah has a nice little House to herself and her cats up in the hills on the south side of town. After spending some time meting her and her two cats, she took us in to the grocery store to get some food for dinner. Shad and I put together a delicious Chicken parmesan and made chocolate chip cookies and ice cream sandwiches for dessert. The cookies didn't come out quite right, but they were edible enough and tasted loads better with ice cream or dipped in milk.
