Hot spot
Once we had checked into our hotel we decided to take a walk along the lake edge and head into town to see what sort of restaurants and bars they had. We found a really cool bar with a huge deck area so we sat there and had lunch and a couple of drinks in the sun. Sitting out there and enjoying the views of the lake brought us to the conclusion that taupo new zealand was now one of our favorite places in the world. Sadly we only had a few days there but we are already planning a return trip and hopefully be able to spend much more time there.The taupo accommodation was also excellent and really cheap.
