On our way back south we called on the east coast again at Taupo Bay. We went on some great hikes up the spectacular steep cliffs that surrounded the bay. The Kiwi's call hiking 'tramping', and the lady that ran the camp site we were staying at told us of a good one. She got permission for us to do the walk as it went across private land. This is quite common in NZ, but most people seem to give you permission. The walk led us to our 'dream home', which had fantastic views of the bay. We were allowed to use the verandah of the house as well as walk up to a gazebo, both offered great views. The home was owned by one of the richest men in NZ who is rarely there but fortunately doesn't mind people enjoying his views. His bathroom over looked the bay too. We both said if you lived in a place like that it would be very difficult to leave for work every morning,or get out of the bath.
