Municipal Park, Rotorua
The municipal park in Rotorua is not quite what one imagines. From our parking space, it started out as normal. Green grass, some nice flower beds, plenty of trees.
It did not take many steps until we encountered the first of numerous fenced off, but viewable, geothermal pools with all sorts of colours, features and aromas. Quite something! The signs about not climbing in due to the scolding temperatures, being careful about the gases etc. were bad enough but it was probably the one about not putting your head in the pool where bathing was permitted due to the risk of amoebic meningitis that got me.
And they say Australia is dangerous!
