Huka Falls

Equipped with some dry clothes (Maddie and I) Elizabeth drove us around Taupo for some more sightseeing. Apparently, there‘s a dam (Aratiatia Rapids) which let‘s water out a few times a day, so the riverbed beneath the dam suddenly gets flooded (having dried up a fair bit since the last flooding). Due to maintenance, however, it was continuously flooded - so we hurried there for nothing. The view was - as almost always here in NZ - worth it. We also went to Huka Falls and after that, to a cute honey shop where you could have a little honey tasting and try a few alcoholic beverages, most of them with honey. I started off with a gin with honey and sheep’s milk (odd combination, eh?) with a solid 42% but a surprisingly spicy, yet gentle taste. The mead I had after that with a mere 12% tasted like honey water in comparison. I couldn‘t leave without trying at least one of the many Irish creams they had there, the one with honey. Yum! I was certainly glad I didn‘t have to drive. :DBaca selengkapnya
