Getting wrinkly at Hanmer Springs


Monday 27th
 
They lied didn't they.  So much for crystal skies over the western side for the next four days.  We woke to grey skies and light drizzle, but that didn't stop us.... we were going to get wet, so it didn't matter.

We set off for the Springs at 10.30 thinking we would spend a couple of hours there and we left at 4.30 quite wrinkly. They have about 8 spring pools, all at different heat and different mineral levels, working your way up to the sulpher pool, which we did try but it was a bit hot for us. We had a break for lunch and then back in for the afternoon, it was fabulous.  We basically did nothing all day but relax in warm water.  Even after showing, I still think I can smell the sweet smell of sulphur in the van.

The sun came out in the afternoon, but of course you were so cool forgot about the sun, Rod has a red nose and I fell a little charred.
 
 

We sat around our van in the evening and cooked a spicy chicken dish with lovely white wine, and were only driven in when it got cold. As we were high up, as soon as the sun went down the temperature plummetted. I woke up about 4am freezing..... brr.a aa

  2. I think I could handle a day like that!! If you are allergic to sulphur (medication) does that apply to pools as well? That would keep me out.
