Blue Lake caravan park.

In the main, we are staying at Top caravan parks, little bit more money but great facilities including camp kitchens which we are using.
The one at Rotarua was at Blue Lake about seven kms south of the city.

Very popular for swimming and boating, the lake has been divided off so everyone can enjoy whatever they want to do. One evening, we saw kids who had a pool ladder in the water, they climb up and then jump into the water, they were having a ball. It seemed that a lot of people came out after work for a swim, it was rather hot.

Six km walk around the lake.

The water was indeed blue, there was another smaller lake around the corner called Green lake and you guess it, it was green. We drove up to the look out to check them both out and the colour difference was quite amazing.
