This is the catch-up news….bong

Sadly no Tightrope walking with Dolphins or Polygon news…..but here is a catch-up…..

On the 13th we ferried across the Cook Straits to the North Island…..

By the 14th we were up to Napier on the East Coast where we visited the National Aquarium….along with the usual collection of fresh and salty marine life…we saw Little Blue Penguins (all of which were “rescue” Penguins….think wooden legs/neck braces) and surprisingly (both for it being an Aquarium and we hadn’t read the leaflet properly) a Kiwi. See photos of Penguin, but no Kiwi photos as they prefer the dark…

Next we moved on up to Lake Taupo, via “Craters of the Moon” and Huka Falls. Craters of the Moon being a Geothermal Park, containing Mud Pools and thermal vents. The pictures don’t do it justice….stick around for the next blog for more Geothermal related facts…..

Obviously we had a game of mini golf, this time only 5 shots separated top from bottom. I will need to get in some extra practice….
