Hi everyone!
We've had a great few days exploring the geo-thermal hot-spots of the North Island. After Napier we headed to Taupo, where the plan was to go on a hike through the volcanic landscape and (for Mark) to go sky-diving, but unfortunately the weather wasn't great at the weekend so we changed our plans and headed north up to Rotorua, which is the centre for geysers, hot springs and mud-pools. We saw some really beautiful sights and enjoyed relaxing in thermal pools and waterfalls. The geysers were pretty cool, although very different to the ones we'd seen in Iceland. Instead of erupting periodically they seemed to gush incessantly for hours on end.
As you can tell from the blog below we also went zorbing in Taupo, which was great fun. We changed into our swimming costumes and climbed into the 11ft balls, which were partially filled with water. We were then pushed down the hill, rolling head over heels until we hit the bottom!
This morning we came back down to Taupo. See the blog above for details of what I got up to this afternoon!
