Taupo

Fuck a duck.

I just wrote a huge entry about Rotorua, Te Kuiti and Taupo and the fucker lost it on me. Not Happy, Jan.

But, in point form:

Rotorua was awesome, but our accomodation (Cactus Jack's) was all fucked up. Too noisy and hectic, and I had to put up with sleep-deprived Cyclone Joan which was more than I could bare.

From Rotorua we travelled to Te Kuiti, which is a small town about 15 minutes drive south of the Waitomo Caves. Backpackers accomodation there was superb. Don, the manager, recognised my face from 12mths ago, so it was nice to catch up on the comings and goings since then. Also played with their computer, and uploaded about 20 different musical albums.

Went repelling, blackwater rafting and rockclimbing at Waitomo. Fucking awesome. Have a few photo's on a disposable camera, so I guess I'm going to have to find a scanner at some stage, and scan them in.

After Te Kuiti and Waitomo, we moved onto Turangi, and the Bellbird Lodge. Really nice rooms, although Cyclone had a whinge about the uncomfortable beds. Phhhht. I slept well.

Also stayed up to 1am talking to Josie, the Manager, about various things we were both interested in. It was really great to talk to her, and it made me realise a few things about myself, too. But, enough of the self-discovery bullshit.

I want to go bungy jumping tomorrow. Yay for jumping off high structures~!

Anyhow, while this post is nothing like the truely incredible post that the fucking computer ate, it gives a fairly good idea of what I've been getting up to with my time.

Hope y'all doing well.
Drop me a comment or two, just so I know who's watching!
