Rotorua - Polynesian Spa, Hell's Gate and Maori evening

Rotorua is one the weirdest and most wonderful places I have ever been!
I spent the morning in the hot Pools at the Polynesian Spa. There were 4 pools (which I had to myself), overlooking Lake Rotorua, ranging from 38-42 degrees C. It was very relaxing!

Next I went to Hell's Gate which is a geothermal volcanic reserve with lots of boiling mud pools and a mud bath. It was a weird and fascinating place with over 100 different natural pools - many of which were over 70 degrees and some over 100 degrees.
I took lots of photos.
Enjoyed bathing my feet in the mud pool and trying my hand at wood carving!

  1. Kay what did you carve out of wood? I hope it is not the prize for all the trivia questions you have set? Please tell your followers where are the pictures of Anne and yourself in beards? After all you are the Hairy Hikers. Please don't let us down!!
