Sunday brought more rain, but we headed out anyway. We drove about 30 minutes to another geothermal area. This one called Orakei Korako, meaning "The Place of Adorning", has remained almost completely unchanged for thousands of years. After checking in, we took a short ferry ride across a river to the park. We walked along the walkways and saw hot springs, geysers, mud pools, silica terraces, and even a cave. It is so crazy that a place like this exists just around the corner from farms, basically in the middle of no-where. We really enjoyed the views and took our time admiring everything. We were a bit bummed about the rain, but we enjoyed ourselves anyway.
