hot water beach

7pm saturday. my god, it is actually quite chilly! 19 deg..... managed to dip my toes in the hot springs. had to be quite careful actually, some of them were very hot - bubbling away. we dipped mia's toes in too, just so we can tell her in the future. lots of people around, pools full of folk sinking bottles of beer. all very nice indeed and glad we hung around long enough to do it. might bring mum and dad here in april, during our last few days in nz.
