Rain Rain Go Away

Saturday brought more rain, so we had to come up with some indoor activities for the day. We went to Honey Hive, where we saw a couple of different hives and also got to taste tons of honey. Jill's favorite product was Bee-nut butter, yep you guessed it... peanut butter made with manuka honey. Dave's favorite was the good ol' raw honeycomb. They had a huge selection of different products from flavored honey to honey wine. They even had several different flavors of honey ice cream. We also went to the Taupo museum to look at art and
artifacts. They had some pretty cool historical fly fishing gear from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. There was also a lot of info on the Maori culture here in Taupo. The different types of volcanic rock was interesting to see and feel. It's amazing how light pumice rock is. We saw the garden of well-being and the rose garden, which was really pretty but really wet. We also went and met Ian for a drink (the guide we fished with the last time we were in Taupo).
