We discovered one of the better-kept secret freebies during one of our last weekends in New Zealand - Butcher's Pool. Named after an early settler, Mr. Butcher and his family used this natural hot water pool as a bath. He later gifted the pool to the people of Rotorua. During WW II, conscientious objectors provided the labor to upgrade the pool, and since then grant money has been used to further develop the area to included walkways, toilets and changing rooms.
Thank goodness you mentioned toilets because I was going to say... I mean, just look at that water! :-P
ReplyDeleteLOL, Becky! I was thinking the pool looked a little dirty...Mom & Dad - pretty cool that you had the place to yourself!
