We arrived in Taupo on Wednesday afternoon after a 2 and a half hour bus journey from Hamilton. We got settled and then walked into town to explore our latest destination! We walked along the lake for a little bit too which was really pretty.
On day 2 we went on the Earnest Kemp which is a boat ride around the lake and out to the Maori carvings in the cliff edge. These were really cool. From the boat we also saw the mountains around Lake Taupo and learnt a little about the history of the lake and its volcanic past. Then we went to Huka Falls which was really pretty, the water was so blue!
On day 3 we went for a bike ride along Lake Taupo. This was so much fun and had such a beautiful view throughout the entire ride! In the afternoon we went to the Craters of the Moon geo thermal area. This was pretty awesome and we saw a pretty good view of Mt Ruapehu and had a really nice walk up to the view point!
Then on Saturday morning we caught the bus to New Plymouth! This was a six and a half hour journey which got seriously boring but we did get a nice view of Mt Taranaki (Mt Egmont) as we got closer to New Plymouth.
We'll write again soon!
