Day 8 - Lake Taupo

First up, Waitomo Caves.

Nice little cave walk. Quite expensive. No cameras allowed - you need to buy their pics of the glow worms. I didn't on principle -so there is no picture. I'm not sure my photography skill would have extended to capturing the experience anyway. It sort of looked like this.

All I got was a picture of where we came out. You'll have to imagine the rest :)



The girls perfected the art of coffee shop visits. It is a skill that will serve them well in life.



A quick look at the 'craters of the moon' just outside of Lake Taupo. We had been told that it was free - but alas, it was no longer that way. I decided not to fork out the entry fee to see more steam and instead made use of my telephoto lens. Bill notes this is the attraction that I was too tight to pay to see.


Huka Falls is also just outside of Lake Taupo. It is a huge mass of white water. Fortunately it was too late in the day for jet boat rides, so I couldn't be accused of being chicken. There is no way the redhead would have gone along for the ride.





Play area #(what number are we up to?) lets say 124.
