Well the day started with another early morning start. We caught the bus right away and headed to Taupo. After a long and boring bus ride we headed straight for our hostel, which we booked this time just in case. It was another X-Base which was nice but nothing special. We tried for a dorm again which we got, but had no room mates. It was pretty late after we did laundry and such so we just went out for dinner, which had really bad service!!!, then went home to bed. And besides...we had a really busy next day. The next day we got up, had breakie, got picked up by a limo...ladida...and then went to our SKYDIVE! It was awsome...everyone in the limo was freaking out hard core while us two were the calm cool ones. Once we got there we went through the training, booked everything and then found out that it was to cloudy and we couldn't dive. They rebooked us for later in the day with hopes that it would clear up. We were a little worried as we were catching a bus later that night to Rotarua. To calm our nerves we staked out a Pizza Hut that had a buffet and waited for the one employee to make all of the pizza and open. We felt for him but we wanted pizza. This was a great idea. We stuffed ourselves silly and then wrapped some pieces in napkins for later. Hey...we're backpackers....take wat we can get. Thankfully the weather cleared and we got picked up again and this time we gotta dive. We will be posting our videos once we have lots of time...they take hours to load...and we're not exaggerating. This was incredible...we highly recommend diving...such a rush. After that we went and caught a bus. YAY!
