Day 141 Taupo, New Zealand

Not sure on where to go today but then luckily Fiona had emailed me and suggested some places worth visiting. First was Cherry Island which although closed there was still a nice area where you could sit down by Waikato River and watch people bungy jump from the cliff above, and then over to Acacia Bay.
I had then planned on reading up on things to do in the South Island seeings it wouldn’t be long before we were then but then got talking to 3 Irish girls after opening their bottle of wine for them. So the rest of the night was spent drinking wine, talking and then persuading Susan one of the girls to join us tomorrow when we were either going skiing or snowboarding. Although after finally getting to bed at 1am and having a few glasses of wine I wasn’t sure whether I really wanted to get up early tomorrow and didn’t know whether Susan would realize if she had made a mistake in wanting to join us. Although she did seem very keen and even gave me her phone number to ring her if I couldn’t wake her up. Anyway it was still a very good night and a great laugh no matter what was happening tomorrow.
