Step 1: Before you read any further go and collect a rotten egg and place it under your nose... Now you're smelling what we were and have the full effect :-)
Lady Knox geyser erupts at 10.15am each day after it is coaxed into life with soap. It erupted for nearly an hour so we were able to get lots of photos.
We next wandered around the geothermal 'wonderland' and right up to the rim of Champagne Pool, an amazing coloured sight. This Champagne was not on ice though, it bubbled and swirled at over 100 degrees C!
The area was full of different colours and textures making for some smashing abstract photography - Mel is excited to get on Photoshop with these:
Step 2: replace your egg with a rancid one...
The sounds smells and sights of these mud pools are difficult to describe or fully capture, it was hilarious!
Away from the smells of the day we were glad to camp in the fresh air at a beautiful location by Lake Okareka.
Again, abstract paintings!! Can't even imagine what that's like to see!
