It all depends on which particular mudpool you're looking at...  anyway
they're hot enough to power a stomping tourism industry and a geo-thermal
power plant or two ;-)  while you're here buy some genuine Maori carvings
made in china...

It's easy if you do it before you fire it.

If you're going to fire it, why bother? Just give it it's severance pay and
kick it out of the building I say.

I may visit, someday. I'll probably stick to the Museum's though. You find
the most amazing things, to render, in museums!

If you get to Wellington you must visit Te Papa (sp?), the big museum on
the harbour side. I went in there a couple of times and only managed to
see a fraction of the exhibits.

Te Papa is correct... some people (myself included) would have preferred a
more traditional kind of museum. At times it can seem like a cross between a
trade fair and a kindergarten.  Also they have an annoying habit of mixing
the treasures with the trash so as not to seem 'elitist'
