After leaving Rotorua we continued south along the 'Thermal Highway' past numerous thermal pools, mud pools and craters to Lake Taupo, itself a caldera, a volcanic crater filled with water. It is the size of Singapore (660sq km).
Famous for the best trout fishing in the world .... sadly we failed to even get out on the water in the 2 days we stayed! We did manage a visit to the Huka Prawn Farm to fish, but no prawns caught between the 4 of us! The farm was located on the banks of the Waikato river though, and that brought great thrills to Hugo as we watched the Huka Falls Jet boat whizzing past at regular intervals thrilling its passengers....
