Still on a high from yesterday but with nothing much else to do in Taupo we set off north. About 5 minutes later on the road we passed 'Shaun the Prawn' farming park, where we soon learnt that we could fish for our own prawns! So we hired a rod and bought some bait and settled ourselves on a bench beside one of the pools - home to 25,000 prawns, surely we'd catch something! 30 minutes later we had! A nice large prawn, but we with not really knowing how to take the hook out of the thing we had to ask for some nearby help!

2 hours later and extremely bored ,but with 3 prawns in the bucket we took ourselves to the restaurant where they kindly cooked them in garlic for us. Took Claire a couple of minutes to get over the fact we had actually murdered these innocent creatures, but they were delicious!

Back on the road an hour later we were in Rotorua, wasnt too hard to tell we had arrived from the whole place smelling like a sewer. This is mainly due to the sulphur vents, thermal areas and active volcanic craters which basically make up the town!
