Travel Diary - Day 27

Date: 6/28/97
Weather: sunny, cloudless
Place: Rotorua, Taupo

Today we went to a national park on the way out of town that contained thermal pools, boiling mud, and all kinds of sulfur deposits. It was the most ungodly place on earth, which they recognized by calling things the Devil's home, Devil's inkpots, and the like. It was very active today. We went to a geyser that erupted when given soap and the Huka Falls afterward. Once we put our stuff in the hostel, it was off to skydiving. In a way, I wish I hadn't taken as many pictures as I did on the way down because I would have paid more attention, but freefall was mindblowing. The whole experience was worth it. That night we went to the Holy Cow for dancing and drinks.
