Leaving Taupo Rainbow Backpackers by 10am after having a heavy breakfast,on the way to Wairakei,stopping over the lookout point view of the Lake Taupo before joining the busy SH1, this part of the road I had ridden before coming from Rotorua,some of the road scenery i still remembered passing thru',now I am riding on the way back,not to Rotorua but to Hamilton and finally ending in Auckland.Highlight for today is, one car stopping about 100m in front of me, and when I caught up,a native Maori man offer me 2 bottles of fruit drinks,a mango and lime,we had a little chat before I thank him again for his kindness.In a super hot day,the 2 free drinks really taste GOOD!!! Today's ride is mostly uphill but not that steep can easily managed. At about 5pm when approaching Tokoroa, I spotted a nice forest with wide grassy land and tall trees, it's a Jim Currie Reserve with a little small stream where I collected water for my cooking.
