Saturday, March 3 - Taupo to River Valley

I Headed down from Taupo toward River Valley. On the way we stopped at this lovely 7-8 meter waterfall, from which some folks chose to jump. Needless to say, I couldn't resist (the water was so freezing that by the time I got out I couldn't feel my toes..). On the way to River Valley I bought this John Grisham book "The Brethren" at one of those $1 a book places. We'll see how interesting this turns out to be.

I arrived to River Valley in the early afternoon. It's a very small place that has a river and a valley... The place is truly magnificant. The river was pretty cold, but not as bad as at the waterfall. So a bunch of us jumped into that river as well (not as high though). Finally, they served a lovely dinner (or was I just too hungry?), which was a really nice break from supermarket food.
