mud monster

The first half of today was spent in Rotorua, where Sabrina and I wandered around town and went shopping while Natalie and Christina went Zorbing and to the Polynesian Spa just as Sabrina, Lucy and I did on our visit in late July.

I stopped by the town’s central park, which I’d missed last time since we got here in the late afternoon. It’s a great free activity, with thermal soaking pools, bridges over steamy lakes, and bubbling mud pits. The boiling mud was hypnotizing to watch.
