Yesterday was largely a rest day following our exertions of the previous day. The morning was spent reading/blogging and generally resting. In the afternoon we drove to nearby Lake Rotopounama for the 5km circumferential walk. It was very pretty. Sam was cameraman and took loads of pictures which I still need to sort through.
After this we headed over to the small town of Turangi to visit the hot pools there. We saw some hot pools and bubbling mud – a small taster for what we hope to see in Rotorua. Ben, Sam and I took a dip in the 40C private pools.
After that it was supermarket time and a bite to eat.
Ben and I spent the evening solving 4 more Euler Problems making my total answered 64. They’re definitely getting harder and take more ingenuity to solve.
I also ran into some computer problems. The trial version of McAfee ran out so I removed it. I subsequently had rampant outbound network traffic using up all my paid for and limited internet bandwidth. I spent a while trying to nail this but I’m not yet sure this is sorted. This will limit the number of photos I can upload before leaving here.
We will be moving on to Taupo this morning. Problem is is that it’s pissing down with rain. That will make things fun.
