New Zealand 11 Small Alcove Of Ferns

 He said it was unlike any other camp park we were likely to find. It certainly was. This place was far down in a small alcove of ferns and the only way to describe it is "lush tropics". We soon discovered it was a thermal hot spring and our fee for the night included unlimited use of the hot pool. The water is constant 52 degrees celcius and they just made a new bore in the earth so the minerals were concentrated. We decided to go one better and hire the private mineral pool with open sky roof for half an hour. It seemed a bit dirty, kind of like those seedy rent-by-the-hour motel rooms, but we just went along with it. I won't go into detail here but......wow! was it worth it!!
