Conference #4


Day Four: Gym session followed by more conference papers and then a coach into Taupo. The seven Mobile libraries that came to conference had a police escort into the park and we picnicked beside them while the public had a chance to see through them.

I went off to swim in Lake Taupo with another girlee who is very keen on triathlons and ended up doing an enormous swim (just a little scary) way out into the lake and back again. Lucky I had been building up my laps in the hotel pool. Beautiful clear water, near the edge of the lake you could wiggle your toes in and feel the heat from thermal activity in the area – a little scary I thought!

After the picnic and trip back to the resort a couple more papers were presented and then the conference wrapped up. I went on another long trek back to the Huka falls trying out different bush tracks with another conference attendee. Bought some honey at the Honey farm for pressies and then home for, you guessed it, a swim and spa. Followed by a wee read and for once an early night.
The ugliest cake I have ever seen!
