The road trip up there was a good start with views of three volcanoes (4 if you include the Taupo Caldera)! We stayed overnight at DeBretts Holiday park in Taupo and visited the hot mineral pools. A little warm, so an hour was enough! not a cheap hour either!
The kids were keen for an early start the next morning and the sun came out as we travelled some pretty deserted and quiet back roads up to Ohope. Happily we arrived to warm sun, so getting the tent up was hot and sweaty, but thankfully not wet! We had 1 full day of sunshine before the weather crapped out with heavy rain and gales.
