WHITE WATER RAFTING IN NZ

The Fitzpatricks and the Keasts had a great time in NZ in August, staying at a lodge in Turangi on the southern side of Lake Taupo. We're talking middle of the North Island.

 One of the highlights was a dabble into white water rafting. Just excellent fun.

It was about this stage that Janice inquired, "Are we gonna go through some white water?"

 Yep! For sure.... in fact 64 rapids in total in a 2 km journey. Mind you it took us a couple of hours to do the ride. Just FANTASTIC! All enjoyed the experience, although Fay's knee took several days to recover afterwards.

Thank you TONGARIRO RIVER RAFTING. Only one to get drenched was Bernie who actually took a dive (plunge?) from an elevated rock (on purpose.) Bit too cold for this little black duck.
