Flight felt crazily short! 40 minutes and we touched down in Taupo....
Jack: "Dad, here's my favorite part...bumpity bump"
Touchdown!......we can already see the small Taupo terminal and a familiar faces are waiting there for us. Bina B and Pops (aka Belinda & Hugh deL) as well as a surprise guest, 93yr old Tasha, Jackson & Aubrey'...

Hello all once again from the other side of the world! How unlike Chrimbo does it feel for us?? There are barely any decorations up and the weather is getting hotter and sunnier. Anyway, I digress, here's your new blog. We have decided to combine the two days in Taupo with the one we spent in River Valley as it was easier.....so there! We left t...

Welcome to Part 2 of our time in Taupo. We spent some last minute time in Taupo (before leaving for Rotorua) using the resort's hot pools and having a 45 minute full theraputic massage (Ruth and me only - sorry no pictures of this!). Coming back to you soon with Rotorua. William

Drove down a side road to the beautiful Waitike Hot Springs and chilled in the hot pools for a few hours. Bliss! Heard one guy saying he hadn't needed physio after a leg op due to his regular visits here. Bring on the healing! Gorgeous view of the hillside and trees as the sun set whilst we sunk deeper into the hot pool... Upon arriving in the d...

Taupo, a varos, a to es az egesz kornyek fantasztikus elmeny volt. Tovabbra is a vulkanikus aktivitas volt a legfobb attrakcio, mint irtam elozoleg Wai-O-Tapu-rol. 4-5 orat toltottunk itt, es nem tudtuk megunni a mindenfel szinu es homersekletu tavakat, forrasokat, az asvanyi lerakodasok fura szineit es formait. Rengeteg kepet tettem fel, es szi...

Yeah yeah I know, I have neglected this blog. I just have been having so little of the Internet lately that I've forgotten how much I am addicted to it. (Which, ironically, means that I am no longer addicted to the Internet. I much prefer chilling out at the lake with icy cold water lapping at my feet, and the incessant drone of Marten's whining...

I thought I would write this entry while I'm still on a massive high from my amazing time in the sky!! The title may seem confusing but while I was home in July my family all gave me money for my birthday which I had every intention of using for my sky dive when I eventually got around to it - thanks everyone, it was possibly the best birthday ...

Jumping out of a plane at 15 thousand feet has never been something that appealed to me, but when in Rome..... Sky diving was quite possibly the best part of my trip so far, and certainly one of the greatest things I've ever done. It was just euphoria during the freefall, I can't really describe how good it was. Sitting on the edge of the plane,...

The main attraction beyond the Lake of course is the Huka Falls. Now we have been burned by these so called New Zealand Falls so we didn't hike this one but rather drove out to it. Well it wasn't the most impressive falls in height, but in water volume going through it was very impressive, especially with that beautiful blue color of New Zealand...

Sun 17th continued... Listened to Sterephonics new album all the way - Dave purchased in Rotorua. Checked into Rainbow Lodge. Couldnt decide whether sounded like a place for gays or special people (sorry). Decent room - 5 beds, unoccupied. En suite. We went n looked into skydiving. Errr... Went into town, ate all the pies n came back - decided o...
