Taupo Day2

What a difference a day makes. Beautiful weather all day today. Went to see some volcanic activity type shift at someplace that I've forgotten the name of. Despite the previous sentence's undersell, this was a really interesting visit. Also stopped at Huka Falls which was also very good. Alistair a little s*d tonight so never got to go back in the outside tub! He'll pay in future years-you mark my words.

Not quite surewhat we'll do tomorrow as have booked a Lodge up north in Bay of Islands in 2 nights but have just realized that it's an 8.5 hour drive from here (!) so we'll have to break it into sections. What looks a fairly short distance on the map is short as the crow flies but rather winding roads and there are no freeways this side of Auckland.

Lots more photos added for Day 3 Sydney, Byron Bag & NZ(finally bought new cable for computer) All available from http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_and_mags

Completely and utterly jealous - looks like all 3 of you are having a great time. Alibi looks contented in the photos - but you do realise he'll now expect this every year. A weekend at Skeggy just won't do.

Just to make me feel better though I have to say that one of the lasses in the office, on looking at the photos, did say "He's your YOUNGER brother?!"

C'est la vie. Enjoy!
