We went to the nearby Agrodome’s Sheep Show.  A great variety of sheep were displayed in a comical and educational way on a platform at the front.  We were told the reason that some had been bred to the present appearance.  The shearing of a sheep was done before us.  And, sheep dogs performed showing how they herd animals.  This was mainly a free day to rest and walk in Rotorua.  There are places where the stones have exploded upward to display hot sulfur steam rising around in the community.  I walked a lot today looking for points of interest in Rotorua since this has been pretty much a free day.  Because of the Kiwi bird here in New Zealand, a native of New Zealand is called a “kiwi”.
