It was cold last night, one of the coldest we have had. The good news is that it warmed up very quickly and turned into a very nice day. It made the drive from Taurangi to Taupo very pleasant so we were in no hurry. We followed the lake for a good portion of the trip and found ourselves stopping to enjoy the view. There was also some picture taking.
Just as we arrived in Taupo we stopped at a scenic lookout. It gave another look at Lake Taupo and of course we took pictures. We ended spending more time watching the sky divers that were landing in a field close to us. They were behind a hill when they landed so we couldn’t see them hit the ground. We didn’t take any pictures, just watched them through the binoculars.
On our walk we came across a guy who had a golf hole in one business. You hit at a floating green and a hole in one paid $10,000. So, I paid my money and took my chances. Well, no $10,000, but it was a lot of fun. Kathy even took a few swings.
As we left the golf game we realized that the day had gotten away from us. It was time to find a camping spot so we headed to the Top Ten Park in Taupo and settled in. Our time in Taupo was topped off with a beautiful evening sky that Kathy took a few pictures of. It was a great end to a pleasurable and relaxing day.
We ventured into the downtown area to have lunch in one of the many patio cafes. They were all facing Lake Taupo, it was a pretty view and very relaxing. After dawdling over lunch we decided to go for a walk along the boardwalk. There was absolutely no sense of urgency in either one of us. We walked for quite awhile just enjoying the beautiful day. It was almost bordering on too hot.
