The whole area is a 3km walking track around a natural geothermic volcanic area. It was really cool and really smelly. Once the fog had lifted it was better. It was a pretty easy walk. Once I had warmed up.
I have finally succumb to the winter. I had three pairs of socks on today. Scarf. Hat. Gloves. Jeans. Hoodie. Still was chilly. And it is going to get colder the further south I go.
So I after my trek around Wai-O-Tapu I move south. I head for taupo but there is nothing really much to do there apart from go on the massive Lake Taupo, so I carry on south. Next to get to Talihope. Well it is even worse here. It's on the map in the in the Lonely Planet book. God only knows why. There is nothing and I do mean nothing here. So I carry on and get somewhere decent, Palmerston North.
It is a pretty nice drive though so I don't mind. I get my first glimpse of the snow capped mountains. Driving past the very mountain that was made famous by LOTR.
