Leaving Waitomo we headed to Lake Taupo and stopped at Huka Falls on the way where the water was incredible, the colour was amazing turqoise and sooooo clear! also the current was ridiculous, soo crazily strong! actualy quite scary! miranda, char and myself booked in for a skydive in the afternoon because the weather was soo amazing!
We elft for our skydive at 3 although we didnt up flying till about 5pm! 5 of us, (us three girls) and 2 guys from our bus went up in one plane adnw e all had chosen teh video option so we're sharing a video all in one which is quite funny! my tandem guy, Damo, was really cool and not a massive heffa beast like the guy in namibia i tandemed with! also this jump was from 15,000ft, and once we'd reached 10,000ft they made us put oxygen masks on although im sure they werent actually working! I went third from the group and it was terrifying moving over and dangling my feet but we left the plane and freefalled for over a minute! incredible!!! absolutely insanely awesome! went on for sooo long, my mouth was so dry and so cold haha. We seemed to take ages to float down with the parachute but that suited me as Damo pointed out different things we could see and we had a nice lil chat bout the lake and stuf and i ended up landing last! literaly was the best experience ever and worth every penny! also couldnt believe how lucky we were with the weather!! I had a little walk a long the lake on my own which was nice to have my own time and also to enjoy the sunset over the lake which was beautiful!
The base hostel bar, Element had ladies night so we would get free punch in the evening so we headed to the bar in teh evening and i definitely drank about 8 punches within an hour, they jst slipped down so easily! luckily they were very alcoholic so i was fine! i think the best bit of the night was MckyDs! omnomnom! the MckyDs in Taupo has an aeroplane!!! awesomeee! altho i never got round to going in it...
Some people got up stupidly early at 5am to go marching up mountains for the day. but not me! i enjoyed a lovely long lie in and then later in the day me charlotte and holly went kayaking on the river and stopped to enjoy the hot pools which were really cool/weird because the top bit would eb really hot and then the bottom bit of the water was really cold! the kayak was really fun, the water is just sooo clean and clear, i've never seen water so good! it was even better because we only ended up paying $4.50! wooo they forgot to ask us for money and we also forgot. win win! Me and Char wandered round town and the shops and realised actually we couldnt live in Taupo because the shops are shockingly bad! haha oh well saved us some money at least!
We figured it was time for another Ring of Fire night so we played that in Charlotte and my twin ensuite with tv room! HAHA woo. we then headed to element with our free drinks vouchers! Lots of people from kiwi were out so that was fun! We also headed round to Mulligans bar to check that out which was really chilled and all the skydive people were there! anyway was a fun night drinking and dancing the night away! was suprised i didnt feel to bad in the morning! which was good as we had to get up early to catch our next bus. we also had to say bye to our chief! haha :( aw now its just us girls in the group!
