A roof with a view

View from the Roturua museum roof which is a former bath house that gave theraputic treatments. The city, where we are staying for 4 nights, is built entirely in the crater of a volcano. The distant skyline all around is the rim. Sulphur bay, seen here from the paddle steamer on which we had breakfast, lies on top of an active geothermal field. The milky coloured water is highly acidic and forms a wildlife sanctuary for birds.
