Huka Falls and Wai-O-Tapu


Today we went to Taupo, and we saw some incredible things!! The first was Huka Falls, where a river forces itself through this small chute and so it rushes really, really fast and finally spills out into a larger area. There is A LOT of water, and it is all this incredible light blue color. I have been told that the color is even nicer in the summer/when it is sunny out, but I do not believe it.



After Huka Falls we went to Wai-O-Tapu, an incredible geothermal area. It smells like a fart, but it’s so incredible that it makes up for this easily*. The colors were so intense and amazing and my stupid camera didn’t really capture them. There was this one pool called Devil’s Bath which was a bright, neon-green color that my camera refused to duplicate. Oh well, here are some bad pictures.
