rotten-egg ville






So Rotorua has a ton of hot thermal pools and therefore smells like sulfer... which smells like I made an egg salad sandwich last week and left it out on the counter in the hot sun with the windows closed. All the time. Everywhere. It's kinda like living in Gilroy and not knowing that it smells like an Italian restaurant ALL the time. Which... to be honest... I really like :)
Anyway - we started our day off with a walk around the city -- seeing the boiling mud pools, the lake filled with swans, and soaking up the... smell. Ick. Town = pretty. Smell = bad. Next... the luge.

did you feel like your clothes kept smelling like it or did the smell go away after you left town? People live year round in this town?

there were some times when i would breathe in through my mouth and i would secretly hope that my breath didn't smell like it. it's quite overwhelming. clothes don't smell... but maybe i'm just used to it! yikes!
