Lake Taupo Feb 8-9

Wednesday we played golf at Taupo Tauhara club. It was a nice friendly place, played better than before. The golf here is very good value - 4 green fees, bugg and one golf hire was only 90 euro for the lot. Grand spot.  Off then to thermal springs to soak in 40 degrees water - much needed after the hot day. it was a huge thermal resort and Rick - bloody eejit - decided to go way up and come down head first on the waterslide. it scared the shit out of him and when he hit the water he thought the pool was bottomless. Back to Matt, Sinead for a bbq of simple burgers, salads etc, all polished off, the show stopper was my own idea of bbqd onions and tomatoes thrown in. Thursday we spent the morning at the beach - a beautiful sunny day - and the lot of us swam in Lake Taupo for the first time. Bit chilly at first but then very refreshing once you were in. In the afternoon we golfed again - this time at the country club of Taumaranui. Lovely course. greens a bit slow. Rick had 36 points. Back home where Sinead had spagetti ready for us which we again ate outdoors on the deck in the evening sun. Afterwards we played poker (rather taught them how to play) where a pair of kinds mysteriously kept appearing under my arse till sinead spotted me :)
