we were up early on saturday to get to Orakei Korako for just after 9am
it’s a natural geothermal amazing place which you have to get a boat across a lake to reach
there was of course lots of sulphurous steam
and amazing colours (some organic)
and various geysers were going off as we walked round. this is still a ‘live’ area and features regularly change such as geysers which haven’t erupted for decades suddenly start up!
and of course there was some gloopy bubbly mud
and some nice sunlight through steam
the walk was about 2 hours hours then we got the boat back to the car
we had lunch in an award winning art cafe
after that we drove over to the posh area of acacia bay overlooking lake taupo
we sat there so long the sailing ship we caught earlier in the week came by
with a lot more people on it than there was for us
and finally we headed in to town to visit the taupo museum and go to a gypsy fair
this singer was dreadful and was singing about having a weepy eye!
he had no audience, but was happy for me to take a few pictures
then it was back to the holiday house to start packing for heading home
and i’ve already posted day 8 of the trip so that’s all the holiday snaps posted
here’s a lady with a dramatic side boob from the holiday house.
