in hot water

We drove up to Rotorua today, swapping our plans for Taupo until tomorrow since I don’t want to be feeling any less than 100% for our skydive. Ann did a water Zorb, and then we headed down to a holiday park with thermal pools early in the evening.

The thermal pools, of course, didn’t look quite as impressive as the brochure made them out to be, but we still had a relaxing several hours of reading in the pools after we set up camp and made dinner. The pools are drained every night and fill from the streams, which are ridiculously hot – you don’t want to get too close to the inlet!

We booked our skydives this afternoon – tomorrow morning at ten-thirty is the big event! Hope the weather holds up – I know someone who’s been up in the plane two separate days and still hasn’t gotten to jump!
