"The Volcano makes this Geyser!!!" |
"One of the best in the world" |
"Anthony having fun with the camera" |
"White Chocolate!" |
"Private Hot Pool Overlooking the Lake" |
"Beautiful View from the Natural Hot Pools" |
Today after a six hour drive, we arrived in Rotorua! The most famous geyser, of the 65 geysers found in the Te Whakarewarewa Thermal Valley in Rotorua, is the awe-inspiring Pohutu Geyser, meaning big splash or explosion.
Pohutu erupts up to 30 metres (100 foot) high, depending on her mood,and is the largest active geyser in New Zealand and the southern hemisphere. There are few places in the world where geothermal phenomena such as geysers are as extensive and accessible as in Rotorua, New Zealand!!! The magnificent Pohutu was a sight well worth waiting for… enjoy the pictures!
After, we enjoyed an AMAZING dinner! Anthony of course had to try the local dessert … a cigar and beer. I guess there's a first for everything! After, we went to the Polynesian Spa where we enjoyed a thermal hot pool overlooking the beautiful view of the lake… watching the sunset at 10 PM!
Tomorrow we are off to…. THE BEAUTIFUL BEACHES for the next three days!!!
Love,
