Leaving Tarawera abandoned campground free stay,the weather is fine to continue my journey to Taupo. It seems that I had ridden the hardest climbs yesterday,and today's ride is just so much better in a high plateau with long gradual climbs. Arriving in Taupo for the 2nd time by 3.30pm. During the 1st visit, I free camped at the Boat Harbour, so this time around I wanted to stay in a Backpackers to recharge and do some updates on my blog. YHA was fully booked when I first inquire,so I went to Rainbow Lodge Backpackers just a stone throw away from YHA. I love the place and the cost is reasonable at 27 nzd well within my budget and is very near to Pak'N Save Supermarket.
