Leisurely morning trying to sort out the credit card problems!
Picked up the van from Kiwi Kombis, heard the weather forecast was good for the next couple of days and revised our travel plans to cancel the west coast and head straight to Taupo to get a good shot at the Tongariro Crossing. A good decision as it turned out.
Not a bad drive down. Some nice towns on the way like Cambridge (horse mad). Got into Taupo around 7pm and stayed at the Taupo Motor Camp for NZD26 a night by the river. Nice location but a bit noisy due to the large trailers that drive thourgh all night. Sorted out pick up for the Crossing with Tongariro expeditions (NZD40 per person and they pick you up and bring you back) the following morning at 6.20am.
This meant another early night. But not before a lovely meal in Waterside on the main strip by the beach. This place seems to be growing into the tourism trade slowly and is still really nice.
