Quick road update

Turns out we did not head straight off to Wellington. Instead we went to Thames and I got to meet the rest of Nigel's family. All of whom are a great and very welcoming group of people. We had a wonderful lunch which I really enjoyed.

We then set out for Taupo which is a town on a lake which was once a volcano well actually it still is. To get there we crossed the desert road. It was very cold and windy along that stretch of highway. Before we reached Taupo we stopped off at Huka Falls.

The next day we did some shopping, saw Craters of the Moon and I went for a jet ski boat ride. Then it was off to Wellington.

More about Wellington later.
