Set out for Taupo firstly to stop with Tom & Ruth and then go on to Hawkes Bay.
Arrived in Taupo on sunny morning.... R's first visit to Taupo and she liked the town. Went for ride on Huka jet boat which was fun! Then went to see Huka Falls. Drove out to Tom's farm for tea. J was really looking forward to this part of the trip. Went for a walk over the farm and Tom showed us site where he is planning to build new house. J played tennis with Tom.
Left Tom's farm to drive to Napier. Found accomodation in motel near sea-front, Marine Parade. Next morning went to council offices and found information on possible employers and schools. We visited Taradale High School and Napier Boys High. We had tours of them both but Napier Boys High headmaster spent an hour with us and showed us round. Also met with estate agents and were taken round a few houses to get idea of local houses and prices.
Had meeting with local furniture maker and saw round factory.... impressive operation!
After few days we left Napier and drove over to Palmerston North to stop with Joanna & Andrew
