Taken outside the Glow Worm Cave!-Awesome experience!
We headed off to Waitomo and did a full blown guided tour of the glow worm cave and Ruakuri Cave..
The experience was truly unique and had a good time shopping for souveniers..
We headed back to Lake Taupo to do a cruise in the lake ...The day was cloudy ..but we still did a full two hour cruise...
Lake Taupo Facts
Taupo has an exciting and unique history in the thermal heartland of the North Island in New Zealand.
Taupo and its legendary lake, is a unique New Zealand town whose birth started on the volcanic slopes, where western dead lands were swept by dust storms. This is a place rich and steeped in spiritual and cultural history in the coming of the Maori, and the struggle and endeavour of early European settlement.
Lake Taupo began its dreamy watery beginnings with a volcanic eruption in 186AD. This enormous eruption blew a 660 square metre hole in the earth sending ash into the atmosphere so high and so far, that the Chinese and Romans recorded these fiery red skies.

It is so vast that the entire country of Singapore can fit inside the Lake of Taupo..
