Nice chilled morning down by the lake - great photos! Drive River Valley - Taupo (with 2 Danish girls Trina & Maria we met in River Valley) - banter Chris - u would have loved it! Awesome drive down to Taupo - which has the largest lake in Southern Hemisphere!! Park up van with other campers in car park by the lake - great photos of sun set! Hit Taupo (not hard) as up 530 2m for Tongariro Crossing - Irish Pub and The Shed - foundations for 2m!
