It was that time of year again, when we celebate terrorists who try to blow up governments... Guy Fawkes. Unfortunately, the only public fireworks display at Rotorua was at the Speedway, and so Erik discovered that there was one in Taupo. After gardening, off we set, the wind was freezing, but the children enjoyed playing in the playground for ages. Dinner at the "Heritage of India" fantastic food, really delightful, and then off to Owen Delaney park to watch the bands playing, and then of course, the fireworks. Parking was free, total cost for 2 Adults and 2 Children, $14.
Oscar and Anneke danced to the music. When Erik and I got too cold, even though we were wrapped up in blankets, we got up and danced too, everyone did, to keep warm.

Finally the fireworks, at least 15 minutes of glorious colour and music. Comet styled fireworks, and new ones that split into 3, and then they split into three again. Fabulous. Will do this again, but will remember to pack the beanies, scarves and gloves. Taupo is COLD!
