Gushing water, fishing and racial stereotypes
DAY 1
Waking up in Rotarua was not so great, the whole room stank like Esky had been ******* all night...secretly I believe he took the opportunity of the whole town stinking of rotten eggs as a cover for taking the opportunity to "dutch oven" the entire room!
On the way to Taupo we saw some pretty amazing scenery. Who knew that …
Geo-thermal Explorers!

Hard Work in Taupo

After the obligatory whinging and 'sympathy' from the others they decided it'd be fun to go for a walk (*******s!) so Niall took us for a guided tour around town before heading back to Cory and Niall's once again for more cards and bad jokes.

An Unexpected Journey: Job hunting in NZ

TravelPod Member ReviewsCatelli's of Taupo
Exactly what you want in a motel room, it was clean and tidy with a decent kitchen and a heater which actually warmed the room. We also scored a room with a small gsarden out the back..this was lovely and we wish it had stopped raining so we could use it!
