Rotorua, the Magic Kingdom of volcanic activity in the North Island... and a really, really bad smell... For those Dutchies amongst you - smells sort of like Erwtensoep (Pea Soup) gone beyond off... for those non-Dutchies out there - smells sort of like Pea Soup gone beyond off. :)
Does make for some nice photos though! Yesterday, after the sledging massacre, I took a walk around town... Bubbling hot pools where water is being pushed up boiling through the earth's crust - with some funky colour combinations too. The pools are all over Rotorua town, and the lake went from clear blue with ducks swimming along to milky white water thick with Sulphur around the bend (nada duckies). 
You can play "Spot the Marisa" in the photograph showing the white lake! Hint: I'm the wildlife waving from the rock furthest away! This morning we went to visit the local geyser centre, as you do, and some bubbling mud pools, hot water pools used to BOIL food for parties, and were just in time to see one of the geysers erupt spectacularly!
