Two nights in Taupo

We stayed 2 nights in the Beech Tree Motel (free broadband!). The trip down on Friday was for Doug to run the Orchid Special in the Capri Car Club sprints on the Saturday. Unfortunately it was a wet day and not a lot of fun was had, being wet and cold. No damage done.



Sunday we took a walk after breakfast down to the lakefront where there were sleepy ducks. There had been a fall of snow on Mt Ruapehu.



This duck had a very long shadow for a bird with duck's disease!



Main St, Taupo, on a Sunday morning. You could shoot a rifle up the main street! The only bad thing was that I found was a shop that I'd missed on my Saturday 'in town' with Miriam. :-(
