TAUPO TODAY

Today we are off to Taupo!

My darling girlfriends from Palmerston North decided to come up to visit me... so we are meeting half way for lunch and a catch up.

I. AM. SO. LOOKING. FORWARD. TO. IT.

I still miss them so, so much... it's now been over 8 years since we left Palmerston North!

Of course, we miss our youngest son Mike dreadfully too.  We live in hope he will come north one day permanently.

So... we will be heading off fairly early, so I better get moving.


ONWARD...

Today has been WONDERFUL!
We met up with the girlfriends and had an early-ish lunch at The Coffee Club in Taupo.

While there, Sandra put Jamberry wraps on my nails!  I love them.

After lunch we had a wander around the shops, then went down to the lake front to get some nice photos.

I will now show you the photos I took...

WE WENT TO THE LOCAL MARKET WHEN WE FIRST ARRIVED IN TAUPO

APRIL WAS WITH US ALL DAY

DON'T YOU THINK THAT THING IN THE WATER LOOKS LIKE.... A GIRAFFE?  LOL

WE HAD THE MOST EXCELLENT DAY.  The weather was amazing!  It was bloody cold to begin with, but got nice and warm as the day progressed.

Keera got nice and tired running around and playing with my girlfriends, she slept half the way home.

Time to wrap up for the day... Coronation Street is on!
