phew

after having slept 2 days in a park, on a bench, I decided to actually move indoors and pay for a room, since I'm leaving for Lake Taupo tomorrow, and it'd be nice to be properly rested for a long ride.

this is how I lived for 2 days :D Eating sandwiches, reading books and enjoyng some quality Netherlandish beer.

Rotarua is most famous for it's areas with socalled 'Themal Activity', which basically means that if you were to walk around barefooted in said area, your feet would be fried. This picture is from a small lake which was arond 90 degrees celcius warm. It is not fog you see, it's steam.

A couple of times a week, you can buy corncobs, which will be cooked in a thermal pool such as this one. Now THAT is sweet as.

cya in Lake Taupo!
