Just north of Auckland is a place called Waiwera. It is famous for its thermal springs. These exist all over NZ but this one was the first we had come across. A leisure facility and water park had been built around the area. There was one pool called the 'Movie pool' that had a film showing twice a day but unfortunatley the bulb had gone whilst we were there. There were lots of different pools inside ranging in temperature. It was so relaxing. The hottest pool was 48 degrees c (ouch), with the smell of sulphur from the thermal springs we felt like a pair of boiled eggs. There were even slides to play on. A school party was in and their teacher was sitting at the bottom of one of the slides. He got quite a shock when we came hurtling down creating a lot bigger splash than the school kids.
“I knew you weren't one of mine with that splash”, said teacher,
“Hey, don't be personal!”, Said Ruth
