Repeater part 1 - through Taupo

As we head back to Auckland we are repeating some of our favourite places. We stayed in Kapiti again but with better weather this time. The play park by Waikanae Beach had a great scooter circuit that we spent ages messing around on. We were hanging around a bit as a couple from Wellington were coming to view the van that we are looking to sell before we head out of NZ.


We also stayed by the rugged sea at Whanganui. They pronounce it Wanganui rather than Fanganui. There was lots of big driftwood on the black sand beach and the impressive river feeding into it. 


The Carrot themed Playpark in Ohakune was still a hit. Great nearby coffee and pies as well! 




Taupo Lake still looked stunning and the burgers at Paulys still tasted great even with the torrential downpour and hail! 


I really like Aratiatia dam. We went to a couple of viewpoints further down the gorge this time!




We also did another hot springs in Taupo. We love these too much. 



Next stop is the more touristy things in Rotorua.
