Phillip Goes Home




We left just after 9.00am for our trip to Taupo today, & apart from having to come back for my wallet - so what's new?-the rest of the journey went well. Driving conditions were good, & not too much traffic on the back roads. We had a short break at Matahina Dam, & then on to munchies in Kopuriki. In Taupo for lunch at Janine's, where Bunny & Janine talked training tactics for the Rotorua Marathon. Janine had already been for her second training walk before we arrived. I went out for some retail therapy while all that was going on. Taupo was pumping. We left there late afternoon, & soon ran into a couple of downpours, but it didn't last long. Another stop for more munchies at Kopuriki, then on to PaknSave, where Lucy spotted Waitapu. Couldn't face cooking a meal at home, so stopped at the Oyster Farm for a feed of greasies. It was a long wait for the less than perfect food, but the scenery was beautiful. I got some good shots. Hopefully you'll be able to view them on my photo link. Got home just in time for Lucy to catch the last few minutes of Coro St. Whew, the pressure was on there!
