Our second full day featured us driving for 5.5 hours from Wellington to the town of Taupo, which sits on the coast of New Zealand's largest lake - Lake Taupo.
First here are some pics of the scenery outside the bus windows and a video showing how we had fun on the bus rides.

| Washroom stop and quick coffee fill up in the town of Bulls. Due to Kellie (our tour manager's accent) a few of us heard Balls instead. |
Bus Surfing Video - on the roads from Wellington to Taupo there was a competition for who could stay standing the longest.
We arrived at Taupo and people went off to do some activities around the town. I opted to not do any activities and instead watched a few people do a Bungy jump and swing.

For dinner that night, the entire group opted to go out on a dinner cruise around the lake. It was a lot of fun, but I think I took too many pics of the amazing sunset. This cruise was on Valentine's Day so we were all wearing something of either pink or red.

| Drinking challenge...shot, beer, wine - the team that drinks all three the fastest wins. Contiki group versus the boat crew. Contiki lost bad. |
