MYSTICAL
Mud pools New Zealand
(My sister took these photos in 2009)
Mud Pool
Your visit to Wai-O-Tapu would not be complete without taking the opportunity to visit what is locally known as the Mud Pool. This was the site of a large mud volcano which was destroyed through erosion in the 1920′s.
It now represents one of the best opportunities to experience the unique character and sounds of erupting mud in New Zealand where the activity is always guaranteed.

A friend and I had a cruise scheduled to New Zealand in Feb. 2013 but we cancelled. We will go but, I have an older blind dog and it is getting harder and harder for me to leave her.
Sorry to hear of the cancellation, but I understand your feeling for your old dog too. It is hard for them to be without you.:)
