Turangi and Lake Taupo

Kirsten's family has a bach (pronounced batch, a Kiwi holiday home) in Turangi, on Lake Taupo - a huge and beautiful body of crystal clear water in central North Island - where we stayed for three nights.

On Sunday the weather wasn't looking too promising, so we visited Taupo Hot Springs via Sean the Prawn's Prawn Park (don't ask). Taupo Hot Springs is a small natural spring spa/resort, with the added bonus of a fast water flume..... I think Hamish and Robin spent more time climbing the stairs and whizzing down the flume than floating in the warm 'medicinal' waters of the spa pools. A lovely time was had by all.
