Rotorua, New Zealand
Our final stop in New Zealand was Rotorua. With friends Sandra and Paul we visited Wai-O-Tapu (Sacred Waters), an area of thermal activity including craters, boiling mud pools and geysers - and not to mention that constant 'rotten egg' smell! The many fantastic colours we saw are due to the different mineral elements. The water is very hot - temperatures of up to 300 degrees celsius have been recorded.

These photos remind me of a cross between Rothko and Turner. You're up there with them Stepehen! Makes me want to get the old paintbrush out.

Hi Becca and Steve,
Just sent you an e-mail, so I'll keep it short. Great photos of Rotoroa and what a fantastic view of Brisbane your friends have! Hope you're well, lots of love,
