After a train to Palmerston North , a trip to the hospital to check all was well (and it apparently was) then a bus to Taurangi We resumed cycling from there. We cycled the 50k to Taupo yesterday and it didnt feel too bad.
But first we headed to the Thermal Hot pools at Tokaanu
As we headed along the road we got treated to views of the three volcanos in Tongariro national park at the end of lake taupo

Here a thermal stream meets the Waikato river giving toasty warm pools of over 40 degrees! The perfect way to relax after some riding.

[And Jayne riding her bike off THE road!]
After spontaniously deciding to do some mountain biking to Huka Falls, it all went a bit pear shaped when jaynes shoulder bag swung off while riding and dragged her with it. The result was Jayne and her bike lying in a heap halfway down the verge....Mum and Dad don't worry, I'm fine. Just a few scrapes and a lot of jokes from Terry!
[Us after reaching Huka Falls.... all limbs still intact. We saw the falls in the sun this time (we were here just under a year ago in a hire car in the rain.....it wasn't as nice)]

Great to see Lake Taupo under blue skies this time. I remember it was happed in clag the last time you were there. Hope Taupo has a bike shop; you can buy Jayne a set of stabilisers Terry to prevent any more "off road" incidents.
