Today we went to Taupo again. The weather was too bad, so we weren't able to do the Tongariro crossing or a shorter hike. But later it cleared up, and the people who wanted to do a skydive got another chance, because the day before it was canceled. We sat there for 2 hours, watching the other people flying and jumping and it looked great (for people who aren't afraid of heights, like me ;)). Three people of our group took off in a little plane, but it was really frustrating for them that they couldn't jump, because there was too much wind. So they only had a free flight to ease their pain.
So we continued our way. First we went to Napier to collect some booklets. Then we went to our Motel,
McGinty's Motor Lodge, in Hastings. In the evening we had dinner with the whole group in Napier and there was a lot to see at the street, funnily dressed people for the Art Deco festival.
