The Pool

Taupo is a geothermally active area and one of the advantages of this is hot spring water to heat swimming pools. Our motel room had this pool right outside the door and it was hot enough to be really pleasant to soak in, even late at night.

Nicole and Phillip wanted to spend most of their time in it!
