Yesterday was the international Iron Man competition here at Lake Taupo. The best 50 athletes then qualify for the World championship in Hawaii. These athletes are very, very skinny. I noticed this keen observation as we watched them run by our pub while we were eating dinner. It's amazing that the body can survive this type of physical stress.
Today we went on a 7 mile hike along a beautiful River with a waterfalls. Again, the water color was spectacular. The pictures just capture a glimpse of the beauty.
Tomorrow we are going on a 4 hour kayak tour on Lake Taupo. It was originally scheduled for today but the lake was too rough. More on that tomorrow.

What, no pictures of Iron Men?!?!? lol. Loving your posts and other pictures...beautiful beyond compare. We're looking forward to hearing about the rest of your adventure. XO Marybeth
ReplyDeleteSeven miles doesn't sound like IRON but at least ALUMINUM and Sam gets kudos for your continuous rendition of JC's ROF, picturing it now or did he have "buds" in??? We are once again enjoying reliving your adventures vicariously. Keep up the good work!
