Day 2 in New Zealand ( Huka Falls in Taupo)

It took about 15 minutes to the bus terminal from hostel. There are many inter city buses, and I got in the bus that goes to Wellington. I arrived Taupo around 1 pm, and check-in hostel, then ate lunch near Indian buffet. There are some time left until dark, so I rented a bike to go Huka Falls.

I thought it is easy to ride bike trail, but it is mountain bike trail. There are a lot of ups and downs, and it was so difficult to get to Huka Falls.

The height of falls not high, but it is wide and the power of stream is so strong. City of Taupo is small town in the central of north island, and it sits in the lake of Taupo, which is New Zealand’s largest lake. For dinner, I did grocery shopping at Countdown, which is the largest supermarket chain in NZ. The produce is cheap and good quality. There are variety of meats, and it is so delicious.
