Today we arrived in a wee town called Hamner Springs. It’s known for its natural springs which had me thinking of hot pools, relaxing and chilling out. I was a bit perturbed by the sight of ‘Thrillseekers Canyon’ and a bungy rope on the way into town. I did think this might be one place where you could avoid all possibility of scary experiences but no turns out you can bungy, go rafting, quad biking, jet boating etc etc. A bit of a mini Queenstown in fact.
Luckily it was ok. We had all made our joint pact to retire (er, I haven’t! – Si) from those sort of adrenalin pumping activities and to hang up our harnesses! I was safe for another day. That left only one activity with which to occupy our time and I’m talking about my kind of activity. Turns out that relaxing in the glorious heat of a 40 degree pool is just how I like to spend my time . Even the stinking sulphury one was quite nice if you could just ignore the smell and I’m sure it has done wonders for our tired old bones!
