Taupo Weekend - August 25th-28th 2006

Vince and I went up to Taupo which is about a 5 hour drive from Wellington on Friday after work. We didn't get there till midnight and it was SO cold you would not believe it. We were staying in a bach, what the Kiwi's call a cabin, by the lake. The bach was fantastic, it belongs to a colleague of ours and has been in her family for over 50 years.

This is the kitchen, you can see the old wood stove underneath the microwave. It has been pouring rain in Taupo, well everywhere in NZ this winter and we couldn't get the fireplace going so we put the electric blankets on 'nuclear fission' and crawled in and went to sleep
