taupo craters of the moon

The next day the rain cleared and we paid our tourist fees to walk through the Craters of the Moon. It was well worth it. They had built a wooden walkway over a geothermal hot spot with boiling mud and many steam vents, and they did a great job with the interpretive signs talking about the plants that could grow with hot roots, and the heavy metals that make the soil turn rainbow colours.
