Jodie & Kate's crazy adventure
Planned to leave the house at 7 but didn't get up till 9. Ryan and Gema told us to pack a bag. We didn't know where we were going or what we were doing.
Started our road trip and the first stop was the skyline in Rotarua. Got taken to the top on a gondalla then came down the mountain on a luge (sledge with wheels and a brake) very funny and we all had a race down.
The next stop was the blue and green lake. The green lake has a maori curse on it so no one is allowed to swim in it. Carried on driving to Mount Tarawera volcano which last errupted in 1886 but is due to errupt again soon. Took a four wheel drive to the volcanoe then trecked to the top. It was extremely hard walk and had to rock climb a bit. Gema and Ryan were storming ahead as we just strolled barely able to breath. Finally made it and the views were magnificant. We then ran down the crater which was alot easier. Really fun!! We then had to get back out and once again we were the last 2. It was amazing. Its not everyday we stand in volcanos.
Last stop was a relaxing swim in a thermal creek which was boiling. Couldn't belive it was a natural thing. Rather chilly getting out though. We then headed to Taupo and stayed in our favourite hostel. Went out for a drink but we were all really tired so headed for bed after a jam packed day!
