PIE, PIE Oh PIE Before reaching River Valley we made a pittstop at a small town where i was in need for something delicious and satisfying. Walking about the town trying to find something decent i bumped into two american girls who were on the bus with me, Sammie & Jayne. First impressions, very nice girls, they offered me to join them to find a gas station for pie. Success, we found a station and before i could do anything they both had taken the last of th...

Rain, Rain Go away, Come again another day Here in the lovely town or Taupo and its pissing down with rain. For two straight days i pretty much walked about looking like a drowned rat. Before the rain though i watched the guys do the lake bungy which was cool. Probably not as good as actually doing the bungy but anyway! Next stop please

Amateur Skydiving So today, another day. Went indoor skydiving to get a feel of the real thing and at $25 was a STEAL!!! Watched people bunjy and swing then we moved on to a pretty decent lodge. We went out for a BBQ and had the best sausage of my life! The next morning we had a lil lie in but i got some breakfast which was french toast, bacon and melon. Jesus! I think i died and went to heaven as that meal was absolutely delicious! Next stop Taupo.

Free Hot Water Anyone? WOW, is all i can say for this place, digging for hot water in the beach was pretty cool, although we didnt get really much time here which was a shame. It feels like kind of a taster in each place which is rather annoying. We went on a walk to this beach where part of the film Narnia was created. The walk there though wasnt all that great. Up, down, up, down hills taking 40 minutes kinda sucks.
