DAY TRIP FOR A SWIM

 

Good morning.

We have decided to go on a day trip to Taupo/Wairakei today.

Lunch in Taupo, then a swim at the hot pools at Wairakei.  Sounds like a lovely way to spend a wet day eh?

It won't matter if it's raining, we will be getting wet anyway!

Before we leave Stew will do his weekend shopping.  While he's out, I will get the house spic 'n' span.  It's always nice to come back home to no jobs to do.

So... 

ONWARD...

Getting stuff ready to go.

And I realise something pretty quick.

I ain't got any togs (swimmers/bathing suit)!

Remember all the de-cluttering I did a couple of months ago?

Where I went through my clothes and took a WHOLE HEAP away to the op shop?

Seems my togs went too.

So once we get to Taupo I will need to pop into Farmers and get me a new pair of togs, or I ain't going swimming!

I don't think going 'Commando' is allowed there.  lol

ABOVE: First stop ... The Bakery in Tirau, where the queue was out the door. Its such a popular bakery. 

ABOVE: My Lamb, Mint and Pea Pie. It was AMAZING!

We are now back on the road. 

ABOVE: Two hours later.... and we are heading home after a really wonderful soak.  You don't 'swim' in these pools, its too hot.

There's  four pools, each is a different  temperature.  

They go from FUCK THATS HOT, to tepid. lol

WHERE IS EVERYONE? Is blogger having a glitch, or are you just not talking to me?   Pfffffft.

6.11 pm:  We are home.  We unpacked our day bag, then turned around and went out for dinner.

ABOVE: Dinner this evening was a shared platter, followed by a shared butter chicken.  Very nice from the Davies Corner Indian Restaurant for a change.

Now that we are home, it's time to simply relax for the remainder of the evening.

Catch ya tomorrow.

Where I spill my guts on our secret.
