The Bath House in Rotorua

Rotorua became known for the bathhouses that were created using the heat from the volcanos. People came from all over the world to stay for weeks and months at a time to sit in the hot sulfur water because they believed that it would heal their ailments. I think I'd feel pretty good sitting around in hot baths every day too! At some point the local volcano errupted and destoyed a lot of the area as well as killed many people. The Maori's believed that the Volcano came because of all of the greed that had come to the area. This bath house was really beautiful and they are now refurbishing it to look like it once did.
