...or The Beehive to give it its unofficial name. It was designed by British architect Sir Basil Spence back in the 60s. It's said that he was stuck for ideas, but at the 11th hour he was inspired by this brand of matches.

Day 49 - Sun 26th April: River Valley
Not much happening today. Spent the morning at River Valley, went for a walk and this dog came along to say hello.
Day 48 - Sat 25th April: A waterfall located somewhere between Taupo and River Valley
Here's our bus driver Cam, executing the perfect swan dive next to this waterfall.Don't worry Mum...I didn't jump in.
Day 47 - Fri 24th April: Huka Falls, Taupo
There's quite a few fast rivers in NZ. So many in fact that hydroelectric is used to generate most of the country's electricity.
Day 46 - Thurs 23rd April: Tongariro Crossing
Too many good pics to pick from today, as the scenery was stunning, but I've plumped for this one of the Emerald Lakes.
Day 45 - Weds 22nd April: En route to Taupo
Not the most inspired of photos (more 'filler', than 'killer') but here's the skyline outside the town of Taupo. See those mountains? Going up that way tomorrow.
Day 42 - Sun 19th April: Ruakuri Cave, Waitomo
Took this picture by accident.Spot prize (maybe) for the first person who guesses what it is
Day 41 - Sat 18th April: Wai-O-Tapu Park, Rotorua
There's plenty of striking colours on show in Wai-O-Tapu. This is the Champagne Pool, and for the chemistry fans outhere...the green is caused by collodial sulphur/ferrous salts and the orange by antimony.
