Turangi and surrounds - Day 1


Tuesday August 28th:

Once settled into the house at Turangi we went out and about. Brian made a couple of trips to the river so far no luck fish for eating, I did go with him one morning so that I could get some photos for him. We have been to Tokanau mineral pools and these are great,there is also a thermal trip you can do which shows hot mud pool and a pool of boiling hot water, you will also see the trout in the stream outside of the thermal area.We took a trip over the range on the way back to take some photos of the mountains and Mt Tongaririo was easily visable still steaming away from the 3wk ago eruption. The bottom two photos show a morning of frost - brrrrr.  Hope you like the photos will add more later - bye
