May 20 - from middle earth to under earth.

On sun up, headed over to Waiotapu - Rororua's premier thermal wonderland. A plethora of mud pools , geysers , craters with colorfully metal deposits.

The mud pools go up to 100 degrees Celsius and seemed like something gross was going to jump out of it any second.






The geyser was called Lady Knox geyser -'and it blows at 10;17am every day like clockwork. You'd smell something fishy - and you'd be right. They trigger yeh geyser to erupt by throwing some detergent like chemical in there manually for the 'show' every day. A bit made up - but am impressive show nevertheless. Here's what it looked like







The best part of it was the walk through the thermal park - we passed the Devils ink pot , Devils bath , champagne pool , rainbow crater - from the most dark to the most serene and peaceful.
