I have 5:28 minutes left.

We are now in Taupo after being to hell, the moon and back in the last 24 hours. Yesterday we endedd up at Hell's Gate, a thermal park named by George Bernard Shaw, for a tour, mud bath & mineral spa. Today we went to Craters of the moon geothermal park in Taupo (free!) to see more of this craaaazy stuff. A science lesson will follow in the coming posts.

We also sawa Maori performance at another thermal village, Whakarewarewa (people live on the hot springs) yesterday and this am I went to the Rotorua museum, housed in the former Government bath houses which people came from all over the world to see in the early 1900's.

4 thermal parks later and I think I have this stuff figured out....
