Maori village evening

Tonight we went to Tamaki Maori village for a culture show and dinner. We got picked up by a Maori bus driver who taught us some of the language and tried to teach us his name, which was made up of a mere 130 letters. On arrival there was an official welcome ceremony with males doing the haka and women singing. After which we went into a mock village of little huts and learnt about their traditional games, dancing, cooking and the haka. We had a demonstration of the cooking pit they use and then a singing and dance show. Finally, we got to enjoy dinner, slow cooked meats, oysters and prawns, home cooked bread and sticky toffee pudding and pavlova for dessert.Read more
