I got up around 9 and got my stuff together. I checked out after eating some noodles for breakfast. I sat in an internet cafe and then walked to catch my bus. I phoned the company when no bus arrived at 1pm. I was told there was no bus to Auckland on a Tuesday. I had been told by my driver I would be picked up today. Also the girl who sold me the Stray pass said it would bring me back on the Tuesday. I was gutted, I only had $30. I was stranded in Taupo! I phoned Margaret who remarkably managed in a few minutes to sort me out a bus ticket and so I got an express bus from the bus station to Auckland. I arrived back in Auckland at 7pm. I had another fantastic dinner; Margaret is a great cook! I then watched the DVD again on the computer, it's amazing to see it again! I went to bed at 11pm as I was so tired!!
