I petted a pig! (C)
And touched a peacock! (C)
Walk like a duck, instead of an egyptian! (C)
Steamed corn from natural hot springs at Whakarewarewa (pronounced "f*ckaraywaraywa"). That's a living thermal hot village. It is still in use. People still live in it even though it is on top of a hot spot. The crust that we were walking on of their land was only 30 cm deep and then it was boiling water. We could see our shoes steaming...

Their way of cooking. A steam pot. They put their food in this area, close the lid, and it cooks! And they can leave it as long as they want and it won't burn. (C)
Penny diving! It's when people drop a coin in the water and kids dive in to try and find it. And when they find it, they hold it up, say thank you, and put it in one of their cheeks for safe keeping. (C)
Geysers.
This is a Maori dance. They stick out their tongues. On their waist they had pois. Pois are like a sponge wrapped in plastic that has a string on it. And they hold it in their hand and twirl it around and hit themselves with it with the tune of the music. My poi is short. Griffin's one is a bit longer. (C)
On the lake (Tikitapu, or blue lake, in Rotorua).
