We catch the bus again just for a short journey north to Rotorua (two lakes). As you enter the town there is the stong odour of sulfur dioxide. As the driver reminds us, you get more used to the smell, but depending on where you are in the town, it seems you never would as near the areas where the geothermal activity was particularly close to the surfuce the smell was too strong.
Our backpackers was right next to a strip of geothermal lakes and bubbling mud which was in turn in the centre of town.
More steaming lakes along a strip near the hostel
On the other side of town about 1km away was the sulfur lake where you could see the part of the Rotorua lake that was constantly steaming away.
