Ernest Kemp Cruise

How to the start the holidays. What adventures shall we fill in the time until January 24th with? Our first choice was a cruise on Lake Taupo on the Ernest Kemp. Locals were offered the special rate of $20 instead of $40 until December 22nd so we decided to take advantage and spend 2 hours on the lake. We followed this with dinner at the Westlake restaurant, ok, but we'll try somewhere else next time.
The whole point of the cruise was to see some Maori carvings in the rock face, they are not ancient, only 30 years old, but interesting all the same. On the way there Maddy got to drive the boat, she could have had a swim at the carvings as well if we had known!
The yacht once belonged to Errol Flynn.
