Today we leave Rotorua but stopped at Te Puia on our way. It's a Maori centre with a kiwi nocturnal house, mud ools and 2 geysers - again the sulphur smell is strong. It was a struggle to see the kiwis in the nocturnal house, so we walked on to the geysers. We were there about 10 - 15 minutes thinking this is just a load of rocks blowing off lots of steam, when I saw a small eruption of water. I called to the others to come see and then the geyser started to gather momentum. It's called the plume of feathers and it certainly lived up to it's name. The water grew higher and higher - an awesome sight.
There were paths you could sit on but not for long as they were really very hot.
Saw a replica of a Maori village and boat.
The mud pools just sit there bubbling away and this natural phenomenon is amazing that mud is at boiling point
A good start to the day on route to Taupo.
More tomorrow hopefully
Love Sue. x
