Champagne Lake at Wai-O-Tapu
1. The Champagne Lake

New Zealand is famous for its hot springs. Some have been developed into resorts, while others remain untouched. The Champagne Lake at Wai-O-Tapu, Rotorua, on the northern island derives its name from the size of its bubbles. The colours, ranging from turquoise to orange, are due to the mineral salts in the water, which include gold, silver and arsenic.

New Zealand is an amazingly beautiful country to visit, even live. A great place which is also a piece of God's own paradise.
