Interviewed on Sunday morning ^ by our representative he was most impressed by the beautiful view across the Lake to the white-topped mountains in the National Park. He was most disappointed that he was not able this trip to see the scenery of the South Island, but, he said, "You have a bit of the Switzerland touch right here in Taupo.
Mr Lion went on to state that he and his wife had enjoyed themselves immensely during the few days they had been in the country. The accommodation had beeii very comfortable wherever they had been. "Seenery is more important than private bathrooms" he stated, "Most travellers come to enjoy new lands, new conditions. They don't all expect private bathroonis while they are travelling.
