Kris and I went to New Zeland planning to see the country via bicycle. Here we are about to leave Auckland and bike to a bus stop 10 km away. We are a little nervous because the night before we
got lost going from the bike rental store to the house we were staying. To make matters worse after it got dark it started to rain, and I ripped a huge hole in the only pair of pants i brought to New Zealand.
We took the bus to Rotorua. Rotorua is known for geothermal activity. We came upon this sign after wandering around the area for half an hour.
This
is what we saw. Hot pools with beautiful blue water.
Pools with not so beautiful water. Although boiling mud makes neat designs.
The whole place smelled like sulfur and then we figured out why. We came upon some people boiling eggs in one of the hot pools
Every where you see what looks like chimney smoke is really a hot spring.
Needless to say as our first sight seeing adventure in New Zealand we were horrified.
