Hells gate

Fitting name for a very eerie place, a place where water and mud just boils naturally at temperature between 90°C and 120°C.

Then theres the smell, the smell of rotten eggs fill the air as steam cushes out the ground.

After walking through the Geothermal area we relaxed our weary legs in a mud bath and thermal pool both of which is believed by the Maori warriors to have natural healing powers.

Awesome relaxing experience, but I think we will smell like rotten eggs for at least a week after this.
