We went to see a hot springs. It was soooooo cool. But the air was filled with sulfer smell. Sulfer smells like diarrea and eggs. Yuck!
We also went zorbing. Zorbing is when you go into a big double plastic ball filled with water or you can be strapped in. They roll you down a big hill. It was so fun.
We also went to see a gyser. It we went up for at least 20 minutes. The water spewed up from the ground for like 20 feet or so. We also walked around a big park that had different coloured pools of water. They were filled with different minerals and sulfer and stuff. It was really stinky.
Today we so a museum it was so cool. We saw a short movie to. In the movie there were moving chairs it was so scary. The movie was about a earthquake and whenever the earthquake erupted the chairs we were sitting on shook and bounced.

Today we went to a spa. It was very fun. We went For a mud bath then we went into a mineral bath. We went by our selves because my dad and Colton went hunting. It was very cool to be in a spa with my mom. The mud is volcanic mud and it cam from a volcano. It felt very smooth /soft on my skin. I thought the bath was going to be big but it was quit small. the mineral pool was bigger then the mud pool. The water in the mineral pools was mercky from the minerals and sulfer.
I think you described the smell very well.did the
ReplyDeletezorbing make you dizzy?

We would all like to take a mud bath- what fun!!! Where were you in that last picture? What were your dad and Colton hunting for? Did they catch anything? Where are you going next? Were you strapped in the zorb? How much water was in it and did it hurt?Was anyone hurt going in the zorb? Is the water hot coming out of the geyser? Are there lots of geysers in New Zealand?
ReplyDeleteGot to go - beautiful weather here and no sulfur.
woah a zorb! thats so cool! that would be awesome going to a free spa! us mennonites would love that! talk to you soon!
ReplyDeleteWe sometimes stop a park with play stuctures so I can play on them. When I went in the Zorb I was NOT strapped in. My dad and Colton were though. The water in the zorb was very warm and there was just enough water to make it slippery. Maybe one pail full.Zorbs are very safe. I don't think people would get hurt.Only dizzy.
ReplyDeleteThe water in the qyser was hot underneath. But when it came out it was cool from the air. There are not very many gysers in NZ. I think only 2.
PS goode job couch surfing grandpa
