On our way down to the Wairarapa a couple of weeks ago, Chris and I broke the journey and stayed a night in Taupo. It's about 430 kms south of here, in the centre of the North Island. The following morning we took a stroll along the waterfront and visited the Saturday morning market before heading west to Napier.
At the time the British and Irish Lions rugby team was touring the country and in one place, the fence was being used to fly the flags of New Zealand and our British and Irish visitors.
