Huka Falls

The sight-seeing has started! Last Sunday I got back from church and, despite the drizzle, decided we should get out and see something. It was that or watch the Big Bang Theory! So we drove south to Taupo to find Huka Falls and the Craters of the Moon.
The craters weren't as moon looking as we expected just a geothermal happening down the road from the falls. It is very strange to see steam rising from the ground like that and hear it hissing. The mud pool seemed to look set but we could hear the water gurgling underneath. Rain, and the prospect of roast lamb meant we stopped at 3:30 and headed back down highway 5 for home. It was only a half hour drive but we have started to look around.
