Today we had planned a big mountain climb, but the weather in the north is not good to us so we have changed plans and decided to go visit some geothermal sites, where we have seen incredible Geysers, fumaroles and weird chemicals boiling in the surface of pools of mud.
It has been very interesting and quite a nice day to pass a rainy day, but there was a catch. We had to use the car quite extensively, and to be honest, it is just not the same. It is more boring, surprisingly more tiring and above all, you lose the contact with the place.
We first visited the "Craters of the Moon", near Taupo:
The most interesting place we visited is called Orakei Korato, an incredible site of sulphur, boiling waters and unnatural colours.
So we've had some nice walks and gone back to the hostel to rest and have an early night. Tomorrow we attack the mountain!
