On the rainy walk from the bus to our hotel, the wind was too strong to put up our umbrellas.

The route for our walking tour.

The first stop is Kuirau Geothermal Park, with some steaming ponds, foot soaking "spas", and beautiful flower gardens.




We walked along the very windy waterfront promenade to the colorful Government Gardens.


Our final stop on the tour, the marshy Sulfur Point, was pungent with a stark landscape and bubbling mud pools. Nevertheless, on one point of land there were hundreds of sea birds. First below is a mud pool thermal vent video. Link here.
