We planned a trip to take a cruise on Chris Jolly by boat on fine Sunday morning at Lake Taupo. This plan was supposed to mark the end of the school holiday. Unfortunately, the trip was cancelled as the water in the lake was too high and the boat crew refused to take us on the trip for safety reason.
Because everyone in the group had already made countless trips to the Huka Falls, the Honey Hives, The Prawn Park and did all the usual stuff tourists normally did in Taupo, we decided to do something different.
So we made an ad-hoc plan which covered a trip to Ararapids Dam, the Taupo Bungy Jump, the kids’ playground, the Best Kebab and finally Mc donalds.
Here are some shots from our trip.
This is Ararapids Dam. Water is released from this dam into Huka Falls

For lunch, we stopped at the Turkish Kebab store for some yummy lunch

This is one great activity, but we just people watched. No one dared to make this one jump.
Our final stopover was the Mc Donalds. While the kids played, the adults had an afternoon snack in the plane.
The packed kebab from the Best Kebab….devoured it at Mc Donalds
Along treated us with Mocha coffee…Thanks son!
