Kayaking in the Ohau Channel

Lake Rotorua and Lake Rotoiti. It's longer than it looks and it is full of black swans. This entire area is one big geothermal wonder -- you can see steam venting all over the place and bathe in the mineral waters. The water in the channel was crystal clear but pretty chilly. It was a hot sunny day, but we weren't planning on a swim unless we capsized. We came close when we got caught up in the current and slammed into a big spiky plant on the edge of the channel.
