Another rainy day riding along the eastern side of Lake Taupo,the traffic is heavy for those cyclists on their way home,but happy that all the trucks were using the Taupo bypass road. The morning weather was ok with thick cloud,and the rain only started at noon. There is strong fierce wind blowing from the lake to my right hand side and this put me into high alert especially at downhill on wet road.Met a couple of Austrian Tourer but they are not into camping and only stay in motel,so we did not ride together but they are fast riders. Arriving in Turanga a bit early,a very small town,so i proceed further to Tokaanu for a free campsite near the end of the lake with some camper-vans already there.It's still raining when i pitch my tent and another cold night is expected.
