The town of TaupoLast week we travelled south to Taupo for a week's holiday. Taupo is pretty much bang in the centre of North Island and takes about three hours to get to from Pukekohe.
It is situated next to the largest lake in New Zealand and is about thirty minutes north of the main Ski areas for North Island at Mt. Ruapehu.
We were staying in a small cabin on a holiday park, which was basic, but fine for our cheap budget. We took the mountain bikes with us, as we had planned to visit the many mountain bike tracks in the area.
Huka fallsThe Huka falls is one of the main tourist attractions in the area and we started a couple of our rides from the bridge crossing the falls. It is possible to pay to go on a jet boat which rides right up to the base of the falls.

Whilst on one of the bike rides we found the Taupo bungy. It is straight off one of the cliffs on the river bank and looked pretty scary!
That's not me!
