Whanau in Taupo

In the geothermally roasty, toasty region of Taupo, surrounded by bottles of fine reds and Glenfyddich, my family are all together for a weekend away of games, laughs and ukes.

And someone's *significant* birthday.

Here are a couple of shots of the action thus far. The first was the view from the lounge this morning. xD

Overall this place is pretty sweet, with rolling hills engulfed with a still chill. Ahh the serenity.
