Leaving Papamoa Beach en route to Tongoriro National Park we stopped at the mud baths of Hells Gate.
First some posers:
And now from Levi’s journal:
We went to the mud pits it was hot mud that you could rub all over you I think my skins smoother than before it was very fun there was also a hot spring and a cold tub it was so fun but now I smell like sulfur.
cont.
After that we went to another hot spring but it was a river. It was really cool because there was lava underneath us. And then there was a waterfall. It was the coolest hot spring Ive been to.
(Marc again) kerosene creek was the highlight of the day for me. 2k up a gravel road. No signs, no change rooms and best of all free! Bathing in a hot river is a whole different level. We visited this spot on our last time through NZ (pre kids) and we were happy to see that little had changed. A few other families but certainly less busy than the paved versions.
After that we did a serious grocery trip in Taupō, had a picnic on the beach and then drove on to Tongoriro!
