I'm so lazy, I know...
Today me, Dad and Jen went up to Taupo lake, Mum had to work unfortunately. We had a good time exploring all the places we know of and finding a couple of new places like a lake under the mountains.
We found a motel to stay in that was really nice and cheap too =D

Maccies for breakfast, which in Taupo has a little aeroplane to sit in and eat too X3
I wanted to see a place called Orakei Korako today, another place we've seen before but i think you should see again XD It was really expensive to get in this time though, so it could be the last time we go. It's a natural thing, all caused by the thermal activity of the area. I was a little disappointed in that they closed off one of my favourite areas, a massive cave, but since no one was around me and Jen went down into the cave anyway and mooched at the warm water pool at the bottom, one of only 2 known in the world apparently!
We also had a closer look around Huka falls today, my camera doesn't do it justice i don't think, this thing is huge and so blue.

Our last day in Taupo we explored the falls again, we just can't help ourselves XD We spent an hour or so at a honey shop, where they had bees in hives and videos on the process.
We left not long after that so we could look at some things on our way back home. First we went to a trout farm which now charges so we didn't go in (cheapskates! XD) and then onto have lunch before heading down the desert road by mistake. I didn't mind, I'd wanted to go that way anyway XD
We went up Ruapehu then to find a waterfall and see the view, it was pretty cold and windy but was worth it, the waterfall wasn't the one Dad was originally thinking of but i thought it was pretty awesome X3


( Guess what, it's NZ! )
