We got woken up this morning at 6am by the sound of Bagpipes, we looked out the window to see hundreds of people marching up the road in the dark! Today is Anzac day here which is the same as our Rememberance Sunday. It rained all day today and apparently it is going to continue till at least Thursday, nevermind!

An excellent sunny day today, infact i think its more or less the same temperature as when we were last in Taupo about 7 weeks ago. We walked along the lake this morning and went to the supermarket. We decided to attempt to cook in the horrible kitchen, couldn't believe it there was not one bowl in the kitchen! i think will we be having take away the next few nights!

The bus picked us up at 7.30am as we are in for a long day on the bus. We only made two stops today and they were only to grab something to eat. We arrived in Taupo at about 3pm, our hostel is horrible, the kitchen is filthy and has nothing to cook with! Our room is ok as it has an ensuite and a tv but there is a big hole in the floor!!! i think this has to be the worst hostel so far. We couldn't face using the kitchen so we went to pizza hut for tea.

Weather still no better today so not much for me to say today other than we our laundry!

Back to the usual windy Wellington today, spent the morning walking around and stopped in Starbucks for a while. There isn't really much left for us to do in Wellington so we are just going for walks so we do get too unfit!
