| Taupo |
| Lake Taupo is New Zealand's largest lake. It is the self-proclamed trout fishing capital of the world. Not only that, it's a great mountain town for boating, tramping, rock climbing, skiing and hot springs. |

| The clowd of steam is coming from an area called Craters of the Moon. It's one of the many thermal areas around Taupo. The reserve allows visitors to walk on a boardwalk and view bubbling mud pools and huge, steamy craters. You can actually feel the heat through the soil. Unfortunately, we couldn't get close up pictures due to the crazy amount of steam. |
