Waiotapu thermal activities this morning. We started with a stop at some mud pools. My group were impressed. Next came the geyser which they coax to life each day. It was a fizzer. Built up great then quickly died. Personally I think the Te Puia geyser is superior and needs no coaxing. But we are going there tonight anyway for a concert and hangi.
Day 4 and it appears as though my group from England are over the jet lag and starting to smile and look awake. Also for me I have got into the tour routine. Always takes a few days when you have not done it for a while.
So tonight the Maori concert and hangi and tomorrow we head for Napier. First stop will be Taupo and the Huka Falls then time for a lakeside walk and a coffee or should I say an English tea for some.
Napier we have 2 vineyards to visit for a wine tasting. For me its a stand or sit and watch, but thats okay. After that a little art deco tour then the night is mine, probably shared with some if not all of my group.
