Day 30 -34 : Lake Taupo: “Oh, it’s ok. Payment on survival.”
We escape Rotorua and its watery clutches and partake of another Naked Bus journey south to Lake Taupo and the eponymously named town beside it.
Taupo is a breath of fresh air (both figuratively and literally speaking) compared to the rainy, foetid deadness of Rotorua. The lake is New Zealand’s largest, and during our week long stay more than one Kiwi tells us that it is exactly the same size of Singapore.
I absently wonder at what point in the near future as Singapore does what Lake Taupo can not (continue to expand) will the Tauopians cease telling visitors this particular nugget of trivia.
