More pictures from the weekend

Ok, we’re home now (home at 3 Ocean Road, not 1910 Belmont). We had the most astonishing drive back (we think more mountains were added while we were in Taupo). More about that tomorrow. In the meantime, here are the other pictures I wanted to post from our trip. You’ll see Aidan wearing his father’s hat (and, sadly, looking far better than Michael looks), and a lovely classic New Zealand fern. You'll also see the rapids I wrote about yesterday--two shots taken from the same place, 15 minutes apart. Amazing what a difference 15 minutes makes, eh?
