Toured the Lake Taupo museum yesterday and learned that the lake is actually a volcanic crater with depths up to 300 meters and the average is 100 meters deep. Good place to deep skin dive?
Left Taupo this morning at 10 and headed to Napier about a two hour drive from central New Zealand to the East coast. Napier was destroyed by earthquate in 1931 and was rebuilt totally Art Deco, kind of reminds you of old Hollywood on the way we drove through a mountain pass where the peaks were so high the clouds were beneath the peaks. Will post photos tomorrow as exhausted right now. Booked a B&B on a 64 acre ranch in the boondocks of Masterston 2 hours north of Wellington and arrived at 6pm. 300 kilometers and $100 worth of gas. Gas is $2.00 a liter an average tank costs us $100. The B&B has wonderful views from our bedroom and the master bath www.bnb.co.nz/tidsfordriv Had dinner in town our food was cooked at our table on a "stone grill" which is a piece of granite heated to 400' celsius, food is brought to the table raw and you cook it yourself sort of "fondue on a brick. Photo should be posted tomorrow right now G"d night mates.
