And there is beauty to fall for in the countryside




Friday we drove to Taupo in mist and saw some of the features mentioned below. Then on Saturday, from Taupo we began to drive toward Napier. Before we left town we looked out over Taupo and the sun peeked, the mist parted for a moment and we saw the 3 peaks of Tongirero National Park beyond Lake Taupo the largest lake in NZ.

In Taupo we spent a few hours looking at Huka Falls (I love waterfalls as you may know.) They were impressive.

Then on the way out of town we pulled over at a roadside pulloff to allow a truck to go by; and noticed a sign that said Wiapunga Falls. With this much planning we drove on another 50 meters and there was a magnificent falls.

In many ways we are falling for New Zealand.
