This morning we visited the lake in Rotorua with the Magicbus and then drove on to see the Lady Knox Geyser, a geyser that erupts every day at 10h15 (even though it is provoked by throwing in some soap into the crater). It was impressive to see; it went up to about 20 meters! From there we went to Wai-O-Tapu geothermal park, a big park where we saw all kinds of different colors due to natural processes. Lots of yellow sulphur, very bright orange rocks in the Champagne Pools and even a fluorescent green lake called the Devil's Bath! The park was nice, but once again, the smell was horrible! From there we drove to the Huka Falls, quite small ones, but very very impressive by the force and speed of the water falling down! From there we went to Taupo, where we saw the lake (bigger than Singapore!) and walked around town. We met a very nice French couple with whom we had some drinks and dinner.
Weather: cloudy and unstable (so we didn't do the Tongariro Crossing...yet)
