Fish n chips

Left Rotorua and tootled towards Taupo. Stopped at Orakei Korako to see a very pretty thermal area - best here, only about 8 other people there with us!

Nipped on down to Taupo for a picnic at Hula Falls but it was raining so we all sat cross legged on the bed in the camper van.

Tried to get in to the prawn farm but the last tour had gone (one of the few geothermally heated prawn farm in the world - sounds better than it probably was - fishing for your own prawn and seeing if you can hit a golf ball over the prawn bed wasn't really our yhing anyway!)

Decided in the interests of time to bypass Taupo and scooted down through more rain to Napier where it was time for washing, email and fish n chips - we compromised and ate them off the paper but with knives and forks!
