The Lakes.

Tourists who are pressed for time generally make straight for Rotomahana, after inspecting the Tikitere country, and the journey to Wairoa, the starting point for Rotomahana, is accomplished in two or three hours from Ohinemutu, either on horseback or by buggy. This is one of the most charming trips one can imagine. But those who are not particular about a few days, and some slight extra expense, make it a point to explore the beauties of the chain of lakes which intersect the district. Should this latter course be adopted by our tourist, he must make some preparations for bushing it. His guide will be able to give him every information with reference to the journey.
