Taupo

We are currently in Taupo. We did the Tongariro Alpine Crossing yesturday, a 19.1 km hike that includes seeing emerald coloured lakes and volcanoes. It was incredible and after mountain biking for the first time the day before in Rotarua, we are quite sore today! We were hoping to sky dive today but are unsure because of the weather but hoping it might clear up. We have figured out where we can camp for free so that has cut down some costs. We will likely be leaving tomorrow and heading fown to Wellington to hopefully find an apartment before work starts. Otherwise we are doing great and loving the experience!
Hope all is well with everyone!
