New Zealand - Touring North Island, November 13 - 14, 2009

We visit Waiotapu, a Thermal Area near Rotorua, with geysers and mysterious steaming pools.  We headed back up to the Buried Village at Te Wairoa, and looked into the mud pools in Rotorua itself. 
The next day we headed south, past more mountains, and wound up in Wanganui.



Waiting for the Geyser

Soon ....

Just add a little soap ...

Glurg

And off it goes!

It keeps going ...

... and going ...

... and going.
