Out to Trangi for a couple days with the cousins.We decided to go out for a walk while all the boys were still sleeping. A very nice day here! And a great walk. I wasnt planning to cache here do I wasnt prepared so i didnt bring a pen. If we do this walk again I will log them. Quick find, cache has no lid and I will assume it will be waterlogged soon so maintenance is probably recommended. I placed the cache carefully back as found. TFTC.

Gosh, Turangi is just full of accommodation options: lodges, hotels, motels, B&Bs, you name it. And such a variety of places to eat. I guess the mainstay here is tourism.

I took a gentle amble up to the bridge so that I could also collect a waypoint for the Adventure Lab. The hint was useful and I immediately saw where I needed to have a look. Today we didn't see anybody fishing near this spot, but I gather it's a very popular site.
