Boulevard Waters Motor Lodge Taupo

... offered to us during our stay. It&#8217;s perfect. It is a huge open floor plan, with 5 bedrooms. We feel very spoiled, but so thankful that we have a place to ourselves and that we won't be infringing on anyone elses space while we're down here.<br><br><br> As we unloaded our bags Jack saw his room straight away. His bed is lime green with tractors on it and Aubrey&#8217;s crib bedding is pink with ...

... really cold today so found Macdonalds for a coffee and to de-ice. On the way back to the car we stopped off at coin save which is like pound world. Jon bought a hat and I bought some thick socks for around $5 total.We headed to the i-site to find out what there is to do in Taupo, plenty when the sun is shining but nothing to do when it is raining unless we wanted to go swimming which we didnt. We decided to go and find a camp site we saw in ...

... br><br><br>Perhaps for the best though...last thing we need right now is a plug into the net... <br><br><br>One big plus on the flipside are the local sports...rugby, cricket, motogp, supercar/GT racing and soccer are on at any given time during the day.

... took each other's pictures. The view up top is spectacular. Behind Doom is a Mount Ruapehu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Rua pehu). Just beautiful, and there are two volcanic lakes between Doom and Ruapehu. Looking in the other direction, you can see all of the crossing, to the Red Crater, and all the way to the "blue lake." Beyond is Lake Taupo, and I could even see Mount Tuahara, which ...

Rory here again. Apologies if the following blog entry lacks my usual enthusiasm but I typed the thing yesterday, spending a good 20 minutes doing it, and the bloody thing broke after I pressed the Submit button and I lost it all. I therefore am typing this for the second time so I'm not quite as upbeat about doing it as I was yesterday. Anyway, here we go again.... Taupo was a place that we had been to on our last trip to NZ. I remembered it as being quite a nice ...

... in a sci-fi film. The whole trail, which wound back and forth across the area, took over an hour and was fairly busy but this didn't spoil the enjoyment too much and there was always plenty of room to see. The highlights were probably the 'Artist's Pallette' - a shallow pool of many different brightly coloured shades of red, green, orange and yellow, the Champagne Pool - a small lake with carbonised water, or the bright green lake and crater where lazy/clever birds use the ...

... don't want to **** my pants! I saw De dive off without making a sound. Ok, I can so do this! So I sit tight while they bound my ankles and my sandals, then it's the moment of truth! I'm told to get right close to the edge, then look up so they can snap a photo. Right, ok, I'm totally in the mood to act like I'm having the time of my life! So the guy counts down, "3,2,1 and bungy ...

... punch thrown out of pure frustration. <br><br>Eventually in the 10th round Mayweather hit him with a sweet left hook, which threw Ricky into the corner of the ring, and you knew this was it. Hatton got up looking like me at the end of the first night of my Estonian stag party! He was a mess, and sure ...

... ressentir les odeurs venant du sol et qui traduisent l'activité volcanique bien connue de la région. Nous en profitons pour aller visiter les "Craters of the Moon", un site tout proche on l'on peut apercevoir les premières vapeurs volcaniques.

... The finale was heading out the Huka Falls themselves, we didn't get too close though as we would have probably been capsized and crushed by the sheer volume of water gushing over them something like 70,000 litres every second - amazing... They look dead cool from eye level too. The rest of the day was spent pondering around Taupo for the first time, me and Tara found the scariest shop in the history of shops - it was full of wind chimes and ...
