Taupo (April 17)

Today was a morning of hikes. By the time we got to Taupo we had done 3 hikes already. They were all beatutiful hikes, but the first one was a bit cold. We arrived in Taupo and decided to go bungying but I didn't go because I didn't want to hurt my back, but Tash still went and dunked into the water. It was very entertaining to watch.

After we went to the hot spring which was very cool. Amanda and Elina had met us down there but Tash and I forgot to bring our suits so we just used there towels so we could at least put our feet in. We went in and it was so enjoyable, especially after all the hiking we had done earlier that day. It was similar to hot water beach but we just didn't have to dig our own holes. We luckily caught a ride back from the bungy company to our hostel. Our hostel had a gorgeous view of the lake and there was a beautiful sunset.

We were a little sick of pasta and rice so we did a taco tuesday. After a very fillig and delicous dinner we decided to go out to Element bar next door since all of us were gettig spilt up at this stop.

It's kinda sad we were getting so close with all these people and all becoming friends but we have to part ways now because we are all on different schedules.
It was a very fun night of dancing and hanging out with the people we became good friends with.
