Had a great evening at the lake last night; Taupo was calm and warm, the lake temperature was really nice. The kids has a great time as did the adults.

Have most of the holiday makers started to head home? We were there last week and it was a constant drone of power boats whose motors have grown in parallel with the size of the double cab utes required to tow them, and the whine of jetskis from about 7am in the morning.

I love it at Lake Taupo but around Christmas / New Years the number of power boats just ruins it for me.

Most have headed off, which is great.

I kind of hate the boats.

Not enough sailboats up there, way too many over powered 250HP plus inadequacy compensation devices.

We stopped over at Taupo during our recent holiday trip, and it was lovely. Had a nice bike ride around part of the lakefront - much nicer than I had remembered.
