We woke up today with our noses still bit delicate with the sulphur atoms wafting all around us but we are slowly becoming used to it or what is what we thought when we enquire about going to Hells Gates which is an ultimate site for geothermal landscape with the bubbling mud pools and sulphur smokes.

We were escorted to the bungee headquarters where we had to sign some forms and we were also briefed.
