Tarawera take two

seven of us went to Lake Tawawera for the weekend, we had stunning hot sunny days, a great place to stay and plenty of food and wine...

these are the beautiful Tarawera Falls and a crystal clear stream...



we had a swim in the lake as it was a scourcher of a weekend...

stunning Puriri Moth which we found in the holiday home, this one is not even fully grown...

early morning mist on the lake was a good sign for sundays half a day fishing expedition with Trevor and Tracey...

for some unknown reason I was the star fisherman of the day catching seven rainbow trout!

I was very excited as you cannot buy trout in NZ if you want to eat it you have to catch it! This one has gone in the freezer for us to throw on the BBQ Chrsitmas day as trout is a real treat...

Trev caught the biggest fish of the day...

Tracey and her prize catch...
