One of the most famous places in New Zealand and definately one of the smelliest but still such a brilliant place to visit. The whole area is active and there are mud pools, geysers, thermal spas and lakes everywhere!

Then went on to be 'extreme' as well and went white water rafting which was really good fun but so unbelievably cold, the river was like ice.
