i got up early and went for a walk as everyone else was asleep. my walk turned in to a big hike out to huka falls
here’s some of the holiday house
the lake was steaming from hot springs at various locations
i walked in to taupo town to take pictures of some of the graffiti
and some of our friendly mannequins
there was a fly through mcdonalds
i phoned home to see how everyone was and esther was still asleep and kezia/jane were reading on the deck so i carried on walking to huka falls along the might waikato river
i went through the spa park on the way which has a hot water waterfall where people have a dip. i didn’t
jane picked me up when i got to the huka falls as by then it was midday!
in the afternoon kezia and i went to find the rapids which appear only for a short time each day, but we got the wrong location so it was only mildly impressive
then we visited the craters of the moon which is a local park which sprung lots of hot steaming things when they built the local geothermal power startion
esther enjoyed her day at home doing more recovering from the flu
so we went to some hot pools in the evening
and there was another nice sunset
