This stunning colour is totally SOC. The Waikato river drains out of the volcanic caldera that’s Lake Taupo & on from here to the Huka Falls.
The ice particles in the water is the reason for wonderful turquoise colour, it takes your breath away.
We have a new hire car.
The guy kindly drove down from Hamilton & swopped cars. We feel much safer & it’s a newer model. I booked it myself when Harry wasn’t interested in coming to NZ but should have asked him which car!! We would have had bigger but it’s very nippy so can’t grumble!
I am always amazed as to how the Waikato river change from one end to the other .. check out my photo tonight ..its the other end ...So pleased your car issues are sorted ..
