Mud Pools

Sometimes, it is just nice to go and play tourist in your backyard.  Went South of Rotorua to the Mud Pool.  It's about 25 minutes drive.  The smell is something I still haven't got used too, even after 20 years in Rotorua.  The landscape was monochome, very grey. But then brilliant blue or green would appear, reflecting the sky or trees.  The sound of bubbly porridge springs to mind in this area.  We took our time, and explored the side tracks, and got different views of the boiling mud.
