spring in winter
what better thing to do than soak in the hot springs during winter.....
maruia hot springs is about 2.5 hours away from Christchurch. the outdoor pools have good views of the mountains. water temperature is variable. on the day we were there, water temperature was slightly lower than 40 deg celcius, which was quite disappointing. also, there was a lot of black algae floating in the pool! very grosssss.... this is typical of nz... the kiwis care so much about nature that it will be a sin to remove these naturally occurring, harmless algae...
the mountain tops were covered with snow. thank God we managed to get to the hot spring before the roads were closed a few days later due to snowfall. (yes, i suspect that it is also a sin to clear the snow from the roads.....)
