Sightseeing

Fri Sept 18/09
We slept until 8:00 this morning. We must be on catch up mode. We had morning tea at McCafe for less than $15.00 for both of us. WE drove north up to Huka Falls and walked a short ways beside the river, then returned and walked the other way along the falls. After a few pictures we left and drove to the Craters of The Moon. Here go on a walking tour and see hot steam coming out of the ground just anywhere at about 70 c,(our skin burns at 50 c) The walk takes you around and over the places where mud is boiling. Hot stuff. Then we drove to an outlook over the fall we were at but much higher. Then drove to another lookout that you can see out over the city and lake with the mountains in the distance. These are snow covered and are south where our hotel is. After noon tea we drove south to Turangi to find our time share. This is a small town and a fishing village. Checking at the information centre we can take scenic drives that would take us through the country and up the ski mountain. We had supper in the room tonight and take it easy. Long day. DDT
