Where's Malcolm?

Apr 28, 2009 - Rotorua – 26 au 28 avril

En route vers Rotorua, nous avons visité la réserve géothermale Orakei Korako où nous avons encore été témoins des splendeurs que créent les phénomènes géothermiques de la région; des geysers, des cavernes et cratères, des piscines de boues, de l’eau qui bouillonne et qui fume en plus des couleurs (provenant des minéraux dans le sol) qui donnent l’impression d’être sur une autre planète! Hier matin, nous sommes allés voir le plus beau site géothermal de la Nouvelle-Zélande, Wai-O-Tapu. ... Bref, ce site était vraiment le summum de beauté géothermale! En fin de journée, nous avons fait un tour auto-guidé de la ville de Rotorua. ... Nous avons commencé notre tour dans les jardins du gouvernement où se trouvent de beaux édifices (Musée de Rotorua, blue bath). ...
