Hanmer Springs Day Trip

On November 28th we left Kaikoura on a day trip to Hanmer Springs, an area known for its many thermal springs or hot pools. We bought a day pass which allowed us to use the hot springs all day for as long as we wanted. They had something like a dozen different pools to choose from at many different temperatures ranging from 30 to 41 degrees Celsius. It was nice and relaxing but we had to leave after a few hours because it was already a nice sunny day and the thermal pools were making us dizzy haha. Good fun though. I would avoid the sulfur pools though, the smell of rotten egg seems to take away from the whole experience. After hanging out there for a while we made our way back to Christchurch again to stay for a few days.
