A quiet day today for the tourists as we travelled south to Turangi. A quick farewell to Terry at the Stadium Motel and then we were enroute through some beautiful countryside, with some very ordinary musical selections along the way. Raymond had difficulty negotiating the swings at our toilet break at Tokoroa, but coordination has never been his strong point.
We stopped at Lake Taupo for lunch, and then it was off to the thermal pools for a recovery swim and water slide. The boys liked the look of Taupo and are looking forward to spending more time there later in the week.
From there, it was a picturesque drive around the lake to Turangi. Turangi is a quaint little lakeside village and the motel is perfect for a team of boisterous boys. Buckets and Wilbur showed the boys what it takes to play good touch footy and the boys know they have a lot of improvement to go if they wish to be be competitive in the staff vs student 3-match series.
We are off at 6.50am tomorrow to the jump-off point for the Tongariro Pass. The boys have made their lunches and packed their snacks for the 17 km, 7 hour trek, and have retired for an early night. Expect some great photos tomorrow.
