For Free Not Everything Cost.

Lake Taupo

What a place Taupo is.

I have found the place I would like to live, not sure about Jeannette though.

Today we spent $12 on Tourist thing in Taupo.

2 activities for free.

Plan today,```` is to walk to Huka Falls from the Spa Park, it is 50 minute walk on a track that follows the river. After we walk through the park then on to the track that followed the river, we came across a pleasant surprise, A hot spring running down the hill side into the river, a couple of kayak guys were laying in the hot water, as we took in the shock, we didn't bring our swimming gear, shame, skinny dipping it will have to be. LOL..........













The water is lovely and clear this is a hot spring.

The main river is also very clean and clear you can see right down to the bottom,
The pathway to the falls is quite steep in places but the view of the river makes it worth while.
We passed some great houses and well kept lawns this house I really like.






The hot spring on the way back was full of fun loving Argentinians, with a rugby ball.


We walked for another 30 minutes as we got closer the noise got louder, the river from 50m away the edge is fenced in to stop the public from getting to close, as we approached we saw a bridge over the falls and into the car park, just for the lazy guys!!!!!!!!!!!
For water falls the noise, power and colour of the water is simply breath taking well worth the walk.

We finished off the afternoon yes not free but $12 spend, walking around a place called "Craters of the Moon" not to ruin our visit and blog of Rotorua in the next 2 weeks, I am not going to say anything other than we had a great day.
At 5pm soaked in the holiday parks 38c out door pool for an hour.

Ok here you go...............................1 Picture of the Craters of the Moon landscape
