Great Lake Taupo

Taupo, another beautiful place in New Zealand. I arrived at 10 am and immediately put on my hiking gear and made my way along Waikato River. Halfway, I took a bath in natural hot springs. Sitting under a hot waterfall and enjoying the silence in Waikato valley, I thought, this is New Zealand. Later on, I went to the famous Huka Falls. It is quite spectacular how much water flows through this canyon but it probably isn't the most impressive waterfall ever. On my way back I watched how people did a bundy jump down a bridge into the river and I realized that I never could do that. Back in Taupo I went for a swim in the cristalclear water of the lake before I returned to the hostel to cook dinner. Soon I'm returning to Auckland where I'm going to spend one more evening with my hostfamily.
