Well maybe not the weather so much, but the thermal hot pools are boiling away!
We went to the thermal hot pool park in the middle of Rotorua today (In between rain showers) It was really neat to see. They had large bubbling mud pools spewing out sulpheric acid.. No wonder they put a fence around so people decide not to take a little dip!
They also had a small pool to dip your feet in that was naturally spring heated and several hot spring pools that you cant swim in.
We did not dip as we did not have proper atire on but we are hoping tomorrow the skies will clear and we will be heading off to a natural hot spring river - Should be really something to see!

Congratulations on driving around New Zealand on the wrong (or is it right) side of the road! Love to hear you are all doing well! If you want I will switch with you as it is only -24 BUT is still sunny!!
Yes indeed kids, enjoy the balmy warmth of those pools today....it is -20 something today and could dip as low as minus 30 tonight! Hmmmmmm, Calgary in the winter or holiday house in Rotorua????.....wanna trade places...great that you guys are learning to handle the "wrong side" of the road! Enjoy! Love to all, Seija and Brian
Hi Guys,
Your photos sort of remind us of Yellowstone except it looks a little more lush in New Zealand. Looks like you are all having a great time. It must be great to have the wheels to get around now. Enjoy but try to hold off on some of those extreme sports!!
It is still cold here but it sounds like it sound be warming up soon.
Have fun.
Lots of love
Mom & Dad
