Old MacDonald Had a Farm E-i E-i Oh
And on that farm he had a .....
Q I'll leave you to guess but a clue - its a bird.
At Old MacDonalds is where we are now waiting for the bus... but moe on that later.
Back to Taupo.
Lovely weather but not a big town and as we didn't feel the need to jump out of aeroplanes we sat by the lake and had a drink. The lake is bigger than Singapore, so a fair size. Back at the hostel it was happy hour and then the bar was still open and then there were other pubs to visit so it was what you'd call a big night. In honour of our friends in Horley Fellowship who were having their do 13 hours later is how I like to think of it.
The next day was foggy in mind and weather which is why we had had a late night and not an early one. The Tongaria (sure you don't spell it like that) Crossing was cancelled due to poor weather so no early start and 7 hour walk for us. In fact the coach journey was pretty bleak with little to see in the mist.
Q what level was snow at in Km on the Crossing.
Anyway The Peak next accommodation was superb so a great place to relax.
Next onto Wellington where we went in the museum, walked along the waterfront, went up the cable car, had a nice fish meal and stayed in the accommodation the queen stayed in in 1953 (decor hadn't changed) before catching the ferry to Picton and the South Island and nicer and vineyards :-)

It's an Emu (feeling confident for once)
Not sure I understand Q2 - 1km?
We've hit freezing here and misty fog for the last few days too. Still, it will soon be Christmas!

Q1 - Since the emu guess has already been taken I'm going to go for Peacock (I also feel fairly confident on this one).
Q2 - 2km (just above the road).
As Darren said thick fog for the last couple of days, so obviously the country's ground to a halt!
