Days 344-345: Resting in Taupo

Originally I'd planned to squeeze one more place in before returning to Auckland to fly out, but after all the bus rides and hiking I decided I'd rather just take things slow and just rest in Taupo for a few days then head to Auckland. The day after the hike I had breakfast with the others before they drove on back to Hamilton and I switched to a new hostel. The two days in Taupo was pretty uneventful. I went for a few walks around town and along the lake, but there isn't really much to talk about!
