Day 14, Wednesday, January 25, 2006. Frequent showers. The Buried Village at Rotorua has been undergoing excavation since 1936. Many artifacts have been recovered from the devastating Tarawere volcano of June 10, 1886. A small museum and a one kilometer walk through the digs provide a vivid account of life before and after the explosion. We dined at the Tarawere Landing Restaurant on the shore of Tarawere Lake, literally on top of the 1886 explosion. Sharron had mussels chowder, I had lamb kofla and a Speights gold ale.
