Taupo

I started my backpacking tour with Kiwi Experience and the first stop is Taupo. Its a 6 hour drive from Wellington to the centre of the north island. It is full of options for extreme sports eg. Sky diving, bungie jumping, skiing etc... I briefly thought about the sky diving, but I'm way too chicken.

Lake Taupo is the same size as Singapore!

On my way to the beach I came across this hole in one competition. I haven't hit a ball in ages. Its about a 130 yard shot and my first ball hit the platform. The spectators got a little excited. I didn't get a hole in one but I can tell from the photo that I'm taking the club too far inside - its like looking at my father's swing. Ha! Sorry Dad! Something to work on when I get home.
