Day 98: Today we are heading off the beaten track to Lake Rotoroa in Nelson Lakes National Park. It’s the largest of the Nelson Lakes and a real hidden gem in New Zealand. Yesterday - Day 97 ➜https://youtu.be/sI13dxGoiew Tomorrow – Day 99 ➜ https://youtu.be/qHJs2sesTJQ 30 Tips for Backpacking in New Zealand ➜ https://goo.gl/ZPzLqs -- About this video -- Today we are going to that other lake in the Nelson Lakes National Park, Lake Rotoroa. Yesterday, we went to Lake Rotoiti but this lake is about a 20-minute drive off the main state highway so so many backpackers miss it. But today, we’re going to show you that going to Lake Rotorua is worth getting off the beaten track for. We arrive at the beautiful Lake Rotoroa with a jetty looking out to the mountain and lake views. There are also a number of hikes at Lake Rotoroa so we check out the Lake Rotoroa Nature Walk, which is recommended to us by a couple of Kiwi locals that we meet at the lake. The Lake Rotoroa Nature Walk is a 20-minute walk around the beautiful beech forest with birds and isolated lake beaches. After a hike around Lake Rotoroa, Robin realises that he needs to go to the hospital as he has an inflamed finger. We find that the medial centres and health care in New Zealand is very helpful and another example of the help from locals in New Zealand.
