Today we began our morning with a leisurely trip out to the Craters of the Moon Geothermic Walk<\/a> . There we completed the 45 minute boardwalk loop through craters, mud pools and fumaroles: an opening where pressurized steam and volcanic gases escape.<\/p>\n

\"Craters<\/p>\n

Huka Falls<\/h2>\n

Next stop was at Huka Falls, one of the most visited natural attractions in New Zealand. Water flows 8 meters over the Huka Falls at a rate of 200,000 liters per second; that is enough water to fill 5 Olympic sized swimming pools every minute!<\/p>\n

Why view the falls from above when there is a perfectly good HukaFalls Jet Boat<\/strong><\/a> that can take us much closer to the action! So of course that is what we did.<\/p>\n

\"Huka<\/a><\/p>\n

To end off our evening our Contiki group had a dinner cruise out on Lake Taupo. And since it just so happened to be Australia Day,<\/strong> we decided to dress up in everything Australian to celebrate with all our new Aussie friends. I dressed up as a convict because one of the primary uses in the 18th century of Australia by Britain was to help clear out the over crowded jails.<\/p>\n

I think our group dressed up pretty well considering how difficult it was to find anything Australian in New Zealand. What do you think?<\/p>\n

Cheers and Happy Australia Day!!<\/strong><\/h3>\n
