Rotorua

The day started with a geyser eruption at Waiotapu Thermal Wonderland. The geyser is set off each morning by the park ranger with soap. Funny enough, this reaction was discovered long ago when miners tried washing their dishes in the hot water. From there we took a tour and wandered the geo thermal site. We saw a lot of steam and pools of every which colour. My favourite was the devils bathtub, a bright neon green pool. For the afternoon we headed back into town to visit the redwood forest. This forest was bigger than the forest we saw on the prior day and was on the same mountain with the mountain bike tracks. At the end of the day we found a climbing gym in town. They had an interesting set up as they were part of a hostel which probably helps their business. We were too lazy to drive out to a campsite so we ended up stay by Sulphur Bay which smelled as bad as the first day. You kind of get used to it.Meer informatie
