Mom,
I had an AMAZING weekend in Taupo.
I WENT BUNGY JUMPING!!!!! IT WAS SOOO MUCH FUN!!
Then I went to craters of the moon, huka falls, and a hot stream heated by geothermal activity. I got a free back massage from the hot waterfalls that led to the Waikato River. (Saturday)
Then I did the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. It took 7 hours (I used my hiking boots!!) and I saw Ruapeha (where you go skiing on the north island) and Mt. Ngauruhoe (MT DOOM) I WENT TO MORDOR!!!!!
It was absolutely breathtaking. The mountains/volcanoes had snow, there was a red crater, and the emerald lakes were amazing, such great color!! (I went to the hot stream again to help my muscles.... its a dad kind of place)
Sunday I went on a catch, Fearless. Designed in 1946 but not made until the 80's. I saw Maori rock carvings on a large stone on the edge of Lake Taupo. I went swimming!! They dared me to and thought I wouldn't so I jumped in TWICE! it was 13 degrees Celsius.
SUCH AN AMAZING WEEKEND!
I cant wait to show you photos!!!
LOVE YOU MISS YOU!!!
