C'est LA viE

ok is the last day for my winter trip today, today also is Queen's birthday (public holiday), and today also marked the begining of last working month to me

my mood was very complicated today, felt sad about leaving soon, but felt happy for the begining of new chapter of life as well

i guess the transition period will be up and down to me, emotionally and physically (cz i will be busy settled all stuffs prior leaving)

alright, i have gone a bit too far...

the trip continued and ended with mud pool + sulphur pool at Hells gate this morning

seriously, i did think the cost is too pricy, NZD75 for maximum 20mins at mud pool and unlimited time at sulphur pool

i do understand the mud pool is nt suitable to stay too long as it is too acidic...but from the experience on the first night of trip, i could tell we wouldnt stay in the sulphur pool more than an hour.

well actually we had driven 20mins away from city centre to here, plus wann zhen had already booked for the massage treatment

so we just had the only option, enjoy!

the mud pool experience was quite fun, not that sticky as i imagined, and the mud was actually settled down at the bottom or the wall edge of the pool

so we had to 'dig' them and applied on our faces....

Anges did pretty well~

then we were told off to leave the mud pool, and switched to the sulphur pool, before that, we had a cold shower, omg super freezing!

following that, we just gone into the sulphur pool...

however, just as what i thought, we only stay perhaps 30mins, and gone for shower etc...

the facilities at hells gate were insufficient as compared with polynesian spa, no towels are provided (unless u rent them with NZD3 per towel), then no hair dryer too

i just felt it was abit unnessary to pay that high for the experience at hells gate tho, because there are plenty of options for mud pools or sulphur pool in rotorua.

But of cause hells gate is the famous one here.

Too bad i have to leave for palmy at 1pm, so we couldnt do much today after the spa, and had to lunch simply

as a result, we had a pricy and bad taste lunch at a korean restaurant which is close to my bus stop.

anyways, was good that i hopped on the bus on time, and also this finished my trip in Rotorua! =D

WIll miss u rotorua =D
