The "Love Shack", Lake Rotoiti

Our accommodation for the weekend was a smal cabin called the Love Shack, situated at Okere Falls on the shore of Lake Rotoiti, about 20kms east of Rotorua.
The view from the cabin was rather nice, and we could have used the rowing boat or kayaks if we had felt energetic...
The view across the lake.  A lovely spot for a relaxing weekend of doing not a lot.

Rotorua

For the long weekend we had a short break down near Rotorua.  Saturday morning was spent exploring the town, there was a fair bit going on.  Firstly a Mini car club meeting - this was the best car with its purpose built music trailer.
There was also an American muscle car meeting going on as well.
Plus a zombie walk, raising money for brain injury charities.  This was the winner of "most authentic zombie".
We then treated ourselves to a private hot pool at the Polynesian Spa overlooking the lake.  The natural sulphur hot water was a perfect relaxing opportunity.
