Today we wandered around town for a while and checked out what the gypsys had to sell. Mick & Nicki took the kids to a fun park and Andrew & I went for a drive. We like to see the type of housing that people live in. After a while we bought fish and chips and sat by the lake to eat our lunc…

After a simple breakfast, we all headed to Taupo Bungy. Taupo Bungy located on the Waikato River. As if a regular bungy jump isn't good enough, you can do a tandem bungy jump or a water touch bungy - that is where you barely touch the river before bouncing back up. A few of our group (the colleg…

Vandaag ben ik naar het museum in Taupo gegaan. Vooral de tuin vond ik interessant. Deze is in NZ weer nagebouwd nadat hij een award had gewonnen bij de Chelsea Flower show. In deze kleine tuin zijn alleen planten uit NZ gebruikt. Volgens mij wel 1000 verschillende. Er werd om 14.00 uur een heritag…

Hmmm.... I wonder why I was the only one on the 15000 feet jump?? Everybody else was doing 12000 feet...  As we were strapped into the plane and the plane rised up over the magnificent Taupo Lake the air started to get colder and the houses by now look like little blocks of Lego that a child h…

Today I hiked the Tongeriro crossing. It is an active volcano and part of Lord of the Ring's Mt. Doom. We left at 5:40 AM and hiked streight until 2:30.
