      Yeah, they can be found mainly in thermally heated water sources with a sandy floor. Infection is incredibly rare though and as long as you don’t dip your head under water you’ll be safe (since it enters through the nose) 😅

    Hey Isak, nice adventure you have here. I'd like to know how, and why, you decided to take this route to Wellington? Is there a different route you could've taken? I need to know the shorter, more economical route?

    • @isakstockas

    Some maori place names can be a bit confusing to pronounce at first. Taupō is pronounced like toe-pour, 'au' makes an o sound and ō makes an or sound. Even a lot of us kiwis mess it up. Awesome videos though, very cinematic i love it
