This past weekend my family and I went down to Taupo, which is the largest lake in New Zealand, and is in the middle of the North Island. My mum had to go down there for work, so we tagged along and stayed in a friend’s batch for the weekend. We’d stayed there before, but that was 10 years ago, so it was quite nice to go back.

On both the Saturday and the Sunday, we spent the morning playing Settlers of Catan (a game that I only learnt about 2 weeks ago, and taught to my dad and little sister over the weekend), and then in the afternoon we got out and about. Saturday saw us on a bit of a walk through New Zealand native bush, to a little lake in the hills.

On both Saturday and Sunday we went to Lake Taupo and I read a book while everyone swam. I have yet to get togs (swim suit, swimming costume…whatever else you call those clothes you wear when you go swimming), hence the staying on the beach for me. It was gorgeous weather, and the lake was just as beautiful as always. I definitely prefer the lake to the ocean (ew, sand), so it really nice to be back there.

I apologise once again for the extreme lack of posts recently. I’ll post a bit of an update about what’s happening, move wise, sometime really soon, so look out for that if you’d like to know what the heck is going on!
