After a scenic drive we arrived at the Chelmswood Hotel in Taupo. What a great time at this hotel that was located directly off the lake. There was a big pool that was basically a huge hot tub to luxuriate in and rest our aching bones and muscles from a day of touring.
Sunset from our room.
Fun under the pool's very hot waterfall.
Traveled 7500 miles only to get eaten by Jaws at poolside.
Had to have pizza one night from HELL PIZZA.
The daylight view from our hotel room. What is that ominous-looking funnel shaped mountain in the distance?
