We then departed for a fairly long drive south to the Rotorua area. We diverted slightly off the shortest route to take in Mourinhea, a large rock outcrop on a promontory at Tarea. On one side was a beach overlooking the harbour, on the other a couple of hundred yards away a much larger beach overlooking the Bay of Plenty and several of its islands. A good stop for a late lunch, before completing the drive to the Blue Lake motorcamp a few miles outside Rotorua. Our navigation was successful, another's less so, to judge from the frustrated phone calls to the camp office from a US citizen relying slightly too heavily on a slightly out-of-date GPS system.
