Arriving at Taupo on the North Island we had one activity in mind - a visit to the prawn farm where you can catch huge prawns and eat them!
On the tour of the farm we learnt all about the breeding and growing of prawns.
Sam is keen to adopt a prawn lifestyle for himself as the males seem very at home with at least seven females whom he eats if he gets annoyed with!
During a visit to the hatchery we fed baby prawns and were introduced to the largest one ever to live on the farm, a whopping 63cm long!
Despite our enthusiasm to catch a prawn or two we had no luck nor did many of the others around us.
We quickly realised that the Hawkridges are not cut out for fishing when the boys suggested that we stop fishing and go to the restaurant if we want to eat prawns!
So we did!
