(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home3/aboarddi/public_html/blog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114The weather in Whakapapa this morning was nasty. It had rained a lot overnight and everything was muddy and wet. We woke to a lull in the weather and quickly rose, washed and had breakfast. Half way through packing up our tents it started raining again. A miserable affair.<\/p>\n
Our destination was Taupo by Lake Taupo as we’d heard it was popular. The weather changed frequently along the way but once we had arrived it was warm and partially sunny.<\/p>\n
We checked out a few campsites and non canvas accommodation. For four adults the price difference between camping and motels is narrower. Having had a rough experience in the morning Helen was quite keen on getting a solid roof over our heads. In the end we found the Alpine Lake Motel which was moderately priced, has a large bath and *free* internet – which I need to sort out the outgoing hosepipe my laptop has developed to the internet.<\/p>\n
Waiting for the room to be made available we lunched on pies and had a look around town. It’s huge and very touristy. There is quite a lot to do around here but only one thing has drawn our attention. We’ve booked it. Weather permitting we’ll do it tomorrow. Watch this space.<\/p>\n
We’ve had a quiet afternoon in. The boys will probably be going out to town soon. Sam intends to busk to fill his kitty. I think I’ve sorted out my network problem but can’t be certain. Unfortunately I’ve lost all my bookmarks and saved passwords which is a pain. I’ll survive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
