Weekend in Taupo

At the beginning of September I spent an enjoyable weekend away in Taupo with my three best friends from High School and their families.

Tina and Wayne have just moved back to New Zealand after six years living overseas. They are now living in Palmerston North as is Zaneta and her daughters Sapphire and Brittany. Whereas both Lou & Caliope, and Peter & I, live in Auckland (well for now). So we all met up in Taupo which is pretty much halfway between the two cities. We stayed in one of the Railways staff flats which was pretty awesome, really modern and clean and comfortable.

We all arrived late Saturday afternoon and spent Saturday night catching up and playing a great game of Pictionary. Sunday morning Tina and Wayne cooked us all a huge English breakfast and then we went out and saw some of the sights of Taupo and topped it all off with a swim at the local pool.

Attached is a photo of all the girls at the Craters of the Moon DOC reserve just north of Taupo.
