First: Huka Falls
as a 3 year old next to me said it "This isn't a water fall" They are called falls and are more like cascading falls. A wonderful aqua and eventually a heavier fall, you can take a speed jet boat up to it or for FREE, walk to the viewpoint. It was a nice day and the rain let up enough to visit and take photos.
Second: Honey Hive. Free samples GALORE! We tried mead wine, Feijoa wine (look up feijoa) and another honey whiskey liquor of some sort. All tasty with a 3 liquor max. We then moved on to the unlimited honey samples. Apparently, bees pollinate from different bunches of flowers and it produces vastly different tasting honey. Wonderful! I tried maybe 11 different types and appreciated the Manuka honey, we got from a farmers market days before, even more.
WE COULDN'T RESIST. Manuka Honey and Chestnut ice cream. Kevin enjoyed his Pohutukawa ice cream (I had to look up the name). That was a simple but nice sweet honey flavored touch to it. Yum Yum. I tried all the natural face creams and hand creams I could and we had a picnic in the cold green open space behind the shop.
Third: Lake Taupo. A nice entertaining surprise to find "Lake Taupo, Hole in One tour" There was a square of green in the LARGEST CRATER LAKE IN THE WORLD . People were driving golf balls to get a hole in one for a 10,000$ prize. They were close, but no cigar. Thankfully, we made it to the lake by sunset and it was beautiful. Not raining at this time and we were able to spend more than a few minutes outside and watch people golf into the lake.
Goodbye, Taupo. 2 hours later Hello, Napier.
