What a nice, sunny, beautiful day!!! Mahalo Ke Akua! What a day! It was the most I ever walked this weekend/this day. We headed off to Waiotapu first, but we quickly had to go to a place known as the Lady Knox Geyser. A place that was discovered by prison workers. When they washed their clothes in the hot spring, the soap reacted with the water and water erupted, sending their clothes up in the sky. This place erupts daily by a similar chemical like a soap to make it erupt. It erupts daily reaching up to 20 metres. Then we arrived at Waiotapu, thermal wonderland. Three different walks and we did all 3, supposedly it takes 75mins, we did it in an hour! Took lots of great pictures of the landscape and natural environment. Really cool! And at the end there was this huge lime green pool called the Devil’s Bath. It looked pretty nuts! The last place was Waimangu, volcanic valley. This walk was longer then Waiotapu! It took us about 3 hours. Also part of the walk was either the trail or the hike. Yea we did the hike! The sign at the start of the hike said that unfit people shouldn’t do this hike...referring to me! But somehow I managed! In the middle of our hike it started to rain! Saw nice views from the top. So it rained for half the time we was there. It was a long journey! I’ll just say take a look at the pictures! The most I ever walked/hiked!
