Igar tog vi bussen kl 7.50 fran Napier till Rotorua, tog ca 3 timmar.
Nar vi kom hit kollade vi runt lite pa turistbyran och bokade en "Mud bath and spa" pa Hells Gate. Sen tog vi en taxi till var lilla stuga. Vadret va ratt pissigt, regnade lite men vi va ratt sa trotta, orkade inte hitta pa sa mycket anda. Handlade mat och at lite.
Kl 15 kom bussen och hamtade oss och vi akte till Hells Gate. Forst gick vi pa en promenad bland bubblande lerpolar, svavelsjoar och det storsta heta vattenfallet soder om ekvatorn eller nat sant. Lukade aggmok och fyrverkerier, inte sa trevligt, men det var ratt coolt, det bubblade och pyste overallt.
Sen blev det lerbad, vi fick ett eget "badkar", det var valdigt varmt och man fick ta av alla smycken och sant. Sen iskall dusch och sen varmt svavelbad, det var jakligt varmt. Lerbadet fick man bara vara i i 20 min och svavelbadet i 30 min. Smyckena far man inte ta pa sig pa 24 timmar. Har duschat och sa men huden luktar fortfarande lite svavel, bla. Det kommer droja innan man kakar agg igen.
Efterat akte vi hem igen och kolalde pa film, det borjade regna ratt sa bra vilket gjorde svavel/agglukten varre, men det var ok inomhus.
Idag har vi Zorbat!! Det var skitkul! Forst tankte vi akta tillsammans i samma zorb-boll men da va man tvungen att aka den raka banan och det ville vi inte, zick-zack banan sag mycket roligare ut och det var det. Har tyvarr inga kort pa oss nar vi aker men har lite andra som jag ska ladda upp senare.
Imorrn aker vi till Tauranga!

Took the bus from Napier to Rotorua yesterday morning at 7.50, took about 3 hours. Had a look around the tourist information centre and booked a mud bath and spa at Hells Gate.
Then we took a taxi to our little cabin at Redwood Holiday Park. The woman who works there is really really nice and helpful and the cabin is also nice. We were quite tired after a so early start so just relaxed and had something to eat.
The shuttle bus picked us up at 15 and took us to Hells Gate. First we went for a walk around the geothermical park, lots of bubbling mudpuddles and sulphur lakes and stuff. THe smell was really bad, smelled like egg-fart and fireworks. Hard to explain. Anyway, after the walk it was time for the mud bath, then a cold shower and then bath in the sulphur pool, that was really hot. The mud bath was 20 min and sulphur bath 30 min. We've had showers and stuff but the skin still smell a bit of sulphur. Had to take all jewellery of and is not aloud to put them on for 24 hours.
Today we've been zorbing! That was great fun, really really enjoyed it! First we were gonna go together but then you had to take the straight hill and we wanted to go zig-zag, so we did, but not together. It was so much fun!
Off to Tauranga tomorrow.
