Road to Taupo

5th April
This morning I went back to the lake and walked past more thermal activity, kind of cool, you see steam rising up all over the place and the odd whif of sulpherous compounds remind you that the earth is quite active around here.
Then in the afternoon I headed to Taupo.
I got picked up by a nice swiss couple who were stopping at a few sight on the way which suited me perfectly.
We stopped at park billed as a thermal wonderland and it didn't dissapoint.
There were cool giant wholes with bubling water and yellow deposits.
Cool steaming lakes and oddly coloured ones, really cool, the most impresive thermal stuff I've seen so far, though the 25 dolar entry fee felt a bit like tolling nature.
We stopped a cool waterfall where torrents of water squeeze through a narrow gap before the short drop.
The dropped me off in Taupo which is beside the huge lake Taupo.
