Glenholme

This place was interesting. If you've never seen geothermal activity before it's super interesting. Huge area that takes about an hour to walk. I still liked wai-o-tupo "better", if I had to pick one... But they both are very different and it was pretty cool to see all the bubbling mud. And if your already there to soak in the mud and use the spa, checking out the grounds in a no brainer
