Today we went to Hanmer Springs. It is a thermal pool resort town with lots of biking and hiking trails too, just 1.5 hours from Christchurch. The thermal pools were nice- there are about 10 pools with varying temperatures. We went twice in one day (cause a multiple pass doesn't cost much more). In between hot springs visits, we did a 2 hour hike up to a 41 m high waterfall.
No pics of the thermal pools? Disappointing.
ReplyDeleteWell, the thermal pools are sort of like Banff springs. They are owned by the city and you pay to get into the facility so it's sort of weird to take picture inside. There are loads of natural thermal pools around though- and we will definitely get to some at some point!
