Rotorua (Phew!)

Alright Geysers, Rotorua is renowned for its geysers and hot mud pools as well as hot spring baths, but the first thing you notice when you arrive in Rotorua is the smell (ive got to lay of those currys!) its a potent eggy smell which at first i thought was the girl sitting next to me on the bus lol, here are some pictures of the geysers and mudpools to see for yourselves and if you get close enough to your monitors ive added some smell affects too, another beautiful place!! next stop Auckland geysers!

Taupo!


This is Taupo famous for its gigantic lake!, not many people no this (only me) but underneath this gigantic lake is a live atomic bomb ready to go off anytime now! (volcano i think), apparently if this thing goes off not only will you get absolutely drenched, but Taupo! Get it Tpow boom gameover methinks! beautiful place though, Drive on driver! next stop Rotorua hold on to your noses folks!

Active Volcanos



On the way to Taupo, me and the bus past two volcanos, the first is called Mt Ruaphehu and the second is called Mt Ngauruhoe, apparently these volcanos are both active and are due to erupt any time now!!, drive on driver!, next stop Taupo!

The Kiwi Experience Bus


Ok folks this is the kiwi expreience bus where backpackers i.e me will hop on and travel to all the towns and citys in New Zealand!, as well as organizing excursion i.e. fishing trips, sky diving etc etc. I did feel a bit old on they though as most of the backpakers were around 18-20!, anyway hold on to your hats folks as i will now take you on a journey of my bus trip around the north island, first stop Taupo!.

The Bridge To Know Where!



This bridge is actually called "The bridge to know where" its in the middle of no where and it goes no where! (as you can see in these pictures!), there is a reason for this but i wont bore you guys about it, (actually i will), it was built 60 years ago by farmers that were given this land, only to realise after they built this bridge that the land was infertile!!, what! its probably the best built bridge ive seen in New Zealand.
