Lake Taupo is one of the largest lake in New Zealand on the northern basin. It is spread over 616 kilometers and it is said that Singapore can fit into this lake. This was created by a volcanic activity. As elsewhere there are beautiful walkways, pine forests, pure air and nature at its best. We were lucky to have stayed in a Bach here next to the lake and enjoyed the natural surroundings and the pristine environment. This was a beach house that belonged to a friend of my sisteres and they leant it out to us for the weekend. Most of the activities in New Zealand are outdoors and one does not want the environment to be disturbed by television or internet. Here you have nature at its best, calm, cool, soothing with pin drop silence. The only sounds one can hear is of the waves crashing on the rocks as in the sea and different varieties of bird chirping.
