The Ernest Kemp is a replica steamboat that runs daily cruises on Lake Taupo to the World Famous Maori rock carvings that were created in the late 70’s. In typical Garnett style we phoned at 4pm to make sure there was room on the 5pm sailing then set off for Taupo at ten past. It’s a 30 minute drive (less if you ignore the speed limit and get a ticket Geoff!) but we got there with time to spare and even manage local rates, $20 each, a saving of $50. The cruise included a free soft drink and a lollipop to prevent queasy stomachs and took 2 hours round the bay.
The yacht used to belong to Eroll Flynn.
When we got back Geoff took us out for dinner. Posh food not Burger King! Steak and salmon for me and Geoff and a posh burger for Maddison. Tasty but we will try somewhere else next time.
