Arrived in Taupo in the afternoon, it seemed a lot more lively here and our hostel was really nice, bumped into Sandra again and Sarah was on our bus and a few other people we knew which was good. That evening there was a BBQ at the hostel so we had that and a few drinks there then moved to the Irish bar down the road then onto the club next door, had a funny night. The following day me and Kat decided to go for a walk to the Huka Falls which we had heard was r...

The journey was quite scary in itself, up a mountain with not much room between...

After this we went to arrowtown for lunch and spent about 1.5hr...
