Rotarua / Lake Taupo

Bit of a belated post. Finally got to Rotarua in New Zealand. I have never seen anything like this before, water boiling up from the ground. This one is the largest in New Zealand, and away from all the tourist strip. It supplies the local swimming pool.

Bubbling mud..

and a massive inland lake, in the middle of the north island - Lake Taupo, a really beautiful place.
