#Day 34 Maori at Te Puia and Pohutu Geyser! ⚔️ 🔥

in #travel7 years ago

Te Puia is an easy 3-5 minute drive from Rotorua city centre.
Rotorua is known for geothermal activity and the Maori culture. It’s also home to the largest active geyser in the Southern Hemisphere, the Pohutu Geyser.

Maori culture - the ceremony of meeting two tribes

A host on the microphone explains to the procedure, picking a guy from the crowd to represent us as the tribe’s leader.

The warrior places a fern at our tribe leader’s feet. If our leader picks it up, it shows that we come in peace. If not, well… We don’t want to find out.
