Day 13





A very wet night and then the wind began to pick up in morning. Absolutely bloody crazy miserable weather.
Went into Taupo and watched a movie – Rio (loved it, hilarious!). Weather was still crazy when we came out of the movie so we made a decision to cut off a part of our planned trip down to Tongario National Park as the weather was really going to prevent us from doing and seeing much there.
So we headed off to Waitomo caves. We needed to take a detour along the way as trees were falling on the road causing it to be closed. The van is a bit tricky to drive in the wind. Watching the news this evening – apparently there was a “tornado” in a town not too far from here. It is really windy.
But thankfully it seems to have settled tonight. Stars are out and it is quite mild. Ready for a day in the caves tomorrow.
