Oct 31 Wednesday-Lake Taupou to Rotorua -A short drive today in the sunshine, only 49 miles. We get a 8am start for a boat tour to Huka Falls . We are back in time to see the Araticata Dam release water on the Waikato river. Next we go to NZ’s Geothermal Volcanic Valley. Wai-O-Topu thermal wonderland . We watch geothermal activity, gushing gysers, plopping mud, thundering craters, and sizzling earth. We find innumerable colours of every tint and hue displayed in pools, lakes ,craters, stream vents mineral terraces and even the trackc we walk on. The artist palette was a panorama of hot and cold pools and steaming hissing fumweoles. An amazing variety of ever changing colours .It took over one hour to walk the trails. I found it very interesting. www.geyserland.co.nz We arrive at Rotorua thermal Holiday park. No WIFI. And we are here for 2 days. Oh NO. I am really behind in posting the blog. There is a café on site . We have a very good dinner here.
