December

Today we left Taupo and headed south. For half the day anyways. We didn't make a plan on what we wanted to do but we all just wanted to leave Taupo. We went to Naiper, stopped for lunch and then kept driving. We stopped at the place with the longest name in New zealand and posibbly the world. I am not even going to try to spell but you can try to say it if you want. I have no Idea how it is said. We left there and headed to Palmerston North. It didn't seem like there was much goign on there so we kept driving north and ended up in Wangarie. We stayed there for the night and check on the weather for tomorrow. It siad it was going to be nice so we made plans to go back to Tongariro national park and do some hikes.
