This morning I woke up in Rotorua, a town inland known for its displays of Maori culture and geothermal activity. Today I've booked an appointment to tour "Hells Gate" the only geothermal pools still owned by the Maori tribe. My day starts with an amazing walking tour of many bubbling pools of all temperatures. Some thick with bubbles and the smell of sulfer. Others past the boiling point from natural geothermic activity. Each pool contains mud rich in minerals and sulfer, known to have sacred healing qualities. This very mud is used in the Hells Gate Spa area.
After my 45 minute walking tour of the pools, I enjoyed a long private mud bath and soak in a sulfer pool. A mud bath is every kid's dream!
