So I arrived here in Taupo after my early finished Au Pair experience and I am still here. People come and go almost every day and I stick like glue here. I fancy independence of coming and going after leaving with a family, planning my own meals and so but I did not miss about 400 000 German backpackers. Does every single 18 yrs old German come here. Looks and sounds like it. German is more common languager than English in here. Taupo os pretty nice town not that I like it here that much but I haven't really bothered to go see other places just yet. My intial feeling was that to go to bed and ask somebody to wake my up on 17th of November when my flight is due. Well this is too a beautiful country to miss so I had better pick myseld up and stay up and curious. The weather has been crap for most of the time. Wind has been so cold that I had to invest in a new wind and water proof jacket just to get out of the hostel. Yesterday I did one of the famous walk to Huka falls. I was worth it I felt much fresher and positive after a few hours walk in the nature.
Unfortunately, the persistant flu hasn't let me go either. So I pretty much slept for the first 3 days. But many activities were cancelled anyway so I don't think I missed out much. Tongariro crossing has been off for 1.5 weeks, too windy. I am still dreaming of Skydiving though. 15000 skydiving package just seem to difficult to justify financically but I am only here once as far as I am concerned. I am booked in here till Saturday then it's time move on to Napier for a few nights.
I got a sailing trip booked for tonight's 5.00pm sunset sailing with a barbeque. Hopefuly the sun will be out. After resting on my laurels and wandering around doing nothing for a week I am looking forward for experienng some tourist activities.
