By the time we had finished here the sun had gone, the hills were in cloud and it had turned cold.

When we left there we went to a church at Ohinemutu. This was a Maori church and the walls were covered in Maori patterns. There was a window looking out on Rotorua Lake with an etching of Christ dressed in a Maori cloak and was so placed that he appeared to be walking on the water. A friend had told us about this and was very moved by it but we were rather disappointed as it looked contrived. There was a sign asking not to take photos inside the church but we couldn't buy any either. The tombs were most unusual.
