Lost Lake of the Dinousaurs

Enough of that! Lake Tarawera isn't really lost but people have dropped $x,000,000 on lake front properties trying to create the illusion they're lost, when in reality they're only 20mins drive from the sulphurous lures of Rotovegas.
I've got to say it's extra special hard to pretend you're lost when the $3k coffee machine (including electric grinder) comes in from the car (some of the best coffee I've had in days!)


Here's Jo, Me, Jan & Vick on our walk around the blue lake - gorgeous. There are no boys in this shot because they've all gone shopping. (There's something so wrong with that sentence!)

The boys did get a little more extreme after lunch. It was quite amusing to be sitting on the deck enjoying the serenity of the lake views only to have it disturbed by a soobie driving past (as fast as possible) dragging a guy on a mountain board!

Here Jan & Charlie look up the directions to the refuse station, luckily it wasn't far because we had to stack it all in unwieldly piles in order to fit it in the car!

Things learned on this trip:
-'Lost Valley of the Dinousaurs' is an awesome board game
-Running into a hedge while playing drunken spotlight is not a good idea
-Taking a running jump onto a chest high pile of mattresses -also not a good idea
-I can't play Pétanque
-10 people can eat 4.5kg of bacon
