Tourist Guide

Such a peaceful place. Especially lucky when you get there in the morning, the sun just coming out from behind the clouds and no one around!

My Geology Field Trip - Cobb Valley, Glacial Valley in South Island, NZ.
Just outside Takaka town is the Te Waikoropupu springs (sacred springs). It is thought to be the clearest water in the world. Stunningly beautiful!
This is the water at Te Waikoropupu springs. It's supposedly one of the clearest waters in the world. It is bubbling so a bit hard to see. To preserve it you are not even allowed to touch it.
