Kerosene Creek

Wednesday 28 January 2009

Kerosene Creek is a small river with little waterfalls and a temperature of about 40 degrees. It is located between Rotorua and Taupo near SH1 south of the turnoff of SH38 and north of Wai-O-Tapu.

It’s pretty amazing to sit or slowly swim in the hot water, relaxing and feeling the pain of hiking all day flow away. :) Just remember: Never stick your head under water in volcanic hot springs, as the water may might contain unhealthy bacteria. That’s why it smells kind of like kerosene.

    Das Fernweg ruft! Oh, könnte ich mich doch auch von den Qualen einer solchen Wanderung in heißen Vulkan-Ausgüssen erholen und solche wunderbaren Bilder zumindest in meiner Seele aufnehmen – mit der Kamera gelängen mir diese Meisterwerke wohl nicht!
    Fantastische Aufnahmen, Sebastian:-)
