Me and mom at dinner
Sunset on Lake Taupo
View from hotel balcony

After Auckland we went to Rotorua (which smelled like sulfur and made me want to hurl haha) and we are now in Taupo. Last night we went to a Maori cultural performance and got to have a hangi (meal) which was really good. Today we went to Te Puia which was an area full of geothermal pools, geisers, and mudpools. We also got to see 2 live Kiwi birds! After that we took the drive to Taupo, and I have to say I am starting to enjoy driving around here :) The view of Lake Taupo from our hotel balcony is to die for! We got to walk along the beach and watch the sun go down. Tomorrow it is off to Hastings! We miss you all! xoxo
