So, this weekend I am trundling up through to Lake Taupo (the remains of one of the largest volcano eruptions in New Zealand) in order to watch a jousting/medeival festival which seems to be very popular in this part of the world!!
This isn’t the only reason I am eggsited though, in order to get to this lake I will have to pass by Mount Ruapehu…more popularly known to the rest of the world as Mount Doom from Lord of the Rings!!!! I am hoping for some clear weather with it being our summer and all, by the time I hit the desert road so that I can take some snaps on my camera.
Whilst in this neck of the woods I am going to take the opportunity to take in some of the geothermal attractions around the place, from 90 degree lakes, to bubbling mud pools and such….
This is the real New Zealand for me!!
