Day 12 - Taupo

Started the day with the Canopy Tours Zipline in Rotorua.

Excellent experience with a brand new company that is trying to combine conservation and adventure and doing a great job.  They are trying to remove stoats, rats and possums from their part of the forest and are hoping to encourage native species to return.  Excellent day.

Dinner at the Tussock Bar.  

Stayed in the Whakapapa Village Holiday Park Beautiful place amongst beech trees and next to a rapid in the Waiere Stream.
