Towards Taupo

Between Rotura and Taupo I stopped to experience the living waters of the Waikite valley thermal pools an it was lovely to swim and stay in that clear hot calcine water 100% natural spring water without no chemicals, no sulphur, no chlorine just to be in such transparent alive water in the fresh crisp clean morning air listening eyes closed to the waters tumbling over a series of cascades and waterfall to arrive at the right temperature of 38 or 42° depending on the pool you are in . Then I went to discover the sacred valley ….and visit the Orakei Korako cave and thermal park one of the finest in the world and it was impressive enough . Some 25 kms away I could see as well the Wai-O-Tapu thermal wonderland as the nature is offering there too spectacular nature , volcanic wonders, other surprises !!!!!
