Day 10






Visited the Wai-o-Tapu Thermal Wonderland! The first stop was the Lady Knox Geyser which goes off at 10.15 everyday with a little help from some soap placed in the top by one of the guides. They say it will erupt every 24-72 hours anyway – they just like to make sure of it. It was impressive but so is mentos in a bottle of coke. Then we explored the whole park which is a large area of geothermal activity with a walking path guiding us through. Very interesting and very smelly.
Had a delicious late lunch at Lime in Rotorua and then walked through the Redwood Forest. Absolutely beautiful. Amazingly huge and very tall and very straight trees. It was drizzling with rain but it was so sheltered in the forest that it did not matter at all. Loved it. And it did not smell.
Dinner at camp and early night.
