Finding My Fix: Chronicles of a Travel Junkie

Here are some more pics finally of Wai-o-Tapu I believe it’s called. It’s a geothermally active area with lots of pretty colors. Unfortunately it was raining, so the colors weren’t quite as spectacular as they could have been, but hey, lime green lakes, that’s pretty cool.

Sorry if this one looks dark. That’s my mum standing on a wooden walkway across bubbling mineral terraces

Yes that lake is GREEN!

And so is that sulfur waterfall

The Champagne Pool (you don’t want to go swimming in this I promise you)

I don’t know if you can make it out, but there’s a mini whirlpool I thought was cool

I’m trying to be a bit artsy with this one, not so sure it worked, or maybe it did depending on your opinion on artsiness. It’s another even greener lake behind some bushes.

…And the water by itself…

Some channel in the Whanganui River just north of Taupo

Dessert in Turangi (a relatively boring place by night, and an anglers paradise by day)
