We hit the road early and headed to our first stop, Hot Water Beach. Apparently there is volcanic activity in this area so if you dig down on the beach you will get warm water, interesting right!
The journey there was great, loads of winding country, mountain side roads with excellent views. I really enjoyed the drive. We finally got to Hot water beach after a good few hours driving and headed down to the sand.
There were shovels left in the sand for people to use which i thought was quite nice. We grabbed a few and started digging but nothing seemed to be happening, we saw a lot of other people doing the same with no results either. I found a map which showed the best spots but still the water wasnt that warm. I had read previously its better at certain times so maybe we had missed it but anyway, it was nice to have a mess around on the beach and climb through a few caves and check out the surf.
We decided we wouldnt stay tehre the night and instead hit the road hard and get right down to Rotorua to save the long drive tomorrow.
