After
Rotorua we continued our road trip towards Taupo. We had a few places where we
wanted to stop along the way. First one was Huka falls. Oh my! The river
and the fall were stunning! The color was mesmerizing and brought tears to
Edda’s eyes. 😍 We walked around and just enjoyed the view. We saw also two people going down the fall with kayaks. It was interesting! The river
continues towards Taupo and is crystal-clear along the way. We stopped along
the way to see the water and there were many ducks that hoped that we would
have something to eat with us. Unfortunately, we didn’t. One of the ducks had
found an apple and tried to eat it but it is extremely difficult to catch an
apple in the water with a beak. Edda took the apple and broke it into parts to
make it easier to the ducks. Another place we visited was natural hot springs
in Taupo. There were quite many people so we decided first to walk around a
bit. We saw some exercising supplies such as different bars. We played around
for a while and then Edda stretched a bit while Markus went for a run. After
that we went to the hot springs. The water was really hot! But since it then
mixed up with cold water from a river, one could choose what temperature one
wanted and sit in different areas. It was lovely!
