Thar she blows...

After a relaxing morning at the spa, I joined S. for a geyser tour at Te Puia.  Here we saw more boiling mud pools, a Kiwi (bird) house and the most famous geyser "Pohutu".  Pohutu blew while we were there for over 25 minutes before resting.

Interesting fun fact:  The Maori language is made up of only 13 letters, 5 of them vowels.  It's so beautiful to hear it spoken fluently, but terribly difficult for me to try and repeat.  I am constantly butchering city and park names.

Can you pronounce this?  Te Whakarewarewa Thermal Reserve?
