I was picked up by Stray bus and we left Taupo.� Jugs was my driver so I sat up front and chatted with him most of the way to the National Parks.� I was pretty tired after my night out so once I was checked into the hostel I went to bed.� The rest of the group had gone to check out the waterfall but I'd already seen it once so sleep was a better option.� We went for a group dinner at a local hotel which served massive portions.� Not one of us managed to finsh our dinners!!!� Nobody wanted a late night so after a few games of pool and a beer or two it was back to the hostel for bed.
