Kiwi Experience + Hot Water Beach

On the bus and loads of new people and one over excitable bus driver, she describes the plans for the next few days and we are on our way to Hot water beach. Everyone on the bus is around our ages and have a lot in common, we walk about 5 minutes from our hostel down to the beach, here hot springs rise up through the sand. If you dig a hole it quickly fills with water than can be as hot as 60 degrees so on a cold say like the one we had it feels almost burning hot. We find a pit pre-dug by others so enlarge that and all hop it, some parts are hotter than others so it's all about finding a good spot, fortunately for me I had a place of equilibrium however many in the group had burning feet and goose pimples on their arms. The beach faced to the east and had quite good surf however with nowhere to hire boards there was just one local out there shredding.

Back at the hostel and everyone decides that the best way to get to know each other is with a big game of ring of fire, before off to bed for an early start.
