You can never have enough...

Venetian - the by pass was first started way before I left Taupo - the passing through traffic being diverted was welcomed by the residents but this re development is a different kettle of fish itÔÇÖs not a few businesses whose takings will be down its the rate payers who will foot the bill - Taupo relies on tourism to keep places like the AC Baths operating - there are many Taupo residents who love seeing the crowds at the AC baths during the holidays as the first thing that will go again is residents concessions- one example all the rest homes bring their residents up by the bus load to soak their old┬á bones in the mineral water of the private pools .The council just win an award for their underground pumping station education centre which is open to the public - but you canÔÇÖt get a park anywhere near it which means families have to cross the main highway
The Lava Glass place at Wairakei was fantastic - Kiwimade you would love their gardens - which they have won an award for but the cafe was horrendously expensive - we were glad we didnÔÇÖt have the kids with us
Heading home tomorrow - this is a lovely part of Taupo

I love glass. Must put this place on my To Do list one day. Maybe even on my move.
