Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland

Today we went to Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland just out of Rotorua. I am just going to place a link for more info if you are interested and the photos can speak for themselves. We walked around 7Kms through thermal springs, boiling mud, sulphur pools, and more, very interesting.
These are just a sample of 265 shots for the day, plus video.
