Taupau, full on day of shine, swimming, boat, swimming and pub......hopefully!

Drove round the bays and ended in Kinloch for coffee. Two swimmers and nice changing rooms on the harbour beach tempted us into the lake. Clear and not cold, played on the swimming pontoon and got dressed. Nice place this, scores high on our dream location.  Up to the Aratiatia

                                 Yes it's Lesley swimming and no lifeguard standing by,

 dam for more torents of water when the gates lift followed but boat cruise to Huka Falls.....nice.
Back to the river where a hot stream joins and in with the bodies for another swim in the hot and cool water.....weird feeling!
Dress again like everyone else, in the grass and bushes and finally  back to Phoenix for our last evening. Planning to walk along the lake to join the ironman competitors that have turned out in force for the main event Saturday.  May even join in......but I'm a bit weak on swimming,  cycling and I can't run!
