Day two of our New Zealand excursion was spent in Rotorua, New Zealand at a cultural center home to the indigenous Maori people. The photo taken is of the team in front of the Pohutu geyser which erupts daily surrounded by some mud baths fueled by the area’s geothermal activity.

To end our day in Rotorua, the team was surprised with the chance to both zipline and race down the hill on a luge. Taking a gondola up where we were able to look at the beautiful New Zealand scenery, we spent a couple hours racing down the hill, crashing our carts into each other, and overcoming fears of heights. It was a great day with nothing but laughter and enjoying the time with each other and it was concluded with a picture of our team overlooking the town of Rotorua and the water.
