Tamaki Maori Village Rotorua

We then headed to Tamaki Maori Village in Tamki. We waited a little then boarded our bus called the Kotuku. We dedicated our Chef on the bus and got to the village and catche the greeting ceremony where they greeted each tribes (buses) leader. This was pretty good, we werent aloud to smile or laugh as it was disrespectful. We then headed into the grounds where each ground went around to each section. In one we learnt traditional games, another the guys did the huka and then we played some rop games and learnt some cultural information in another. Our chefs then led us to an area where we were showed the hungi, this was where they cooked the food in the ground. Our chefs then lead us to this large hall where we watched several cultural dances and song. They also did the huka which I enjoyed. We then headed to a massive fall and had a ginormous feast. Chris had about 100 mussels which he enjoyed. After about an hour we headed back to the Tamaki head quarters. On the bus we song several songs. We then decided to do some washing and drying as our clothes from yesterday were wet. This took about an hour. We then headed back near the airport on the east side of Lake Rotorua in Okawa Reserve where stayed in a small court near a yeti. Went to sleep about 12pm.Read more
