Taupo is a town on the shore of Lake Taupo in the centre of the North Island.
We will remember this town because of the extreme sport activities we did, of course we didn't skip the nice short walks, to Huka falls (2 hours) along the waikato river which was very impressive.
In Taupo we were lucky to find Ray and Robyn who hosted us, we got to meet them and Yoni (another Israeli guy who live with them and work in town). we had a lovely time with them and shared some nice conversations.
Bungy:
In a spontaneous way, after noticing this Bungy place and after realizing here is much cheaper than in Queenstown (the famous bungy place), Yoni decided to take the chance and do it, as you can see in this video:
Skydiving:
At the same day, after waiting for the wind to die we finnaly skydived later afternoon from 12,000 feet (=3600 meters). Efrat was the first one who jumped from the airplane, she thought she would be more scared than what turned out in reality, we really liked the free-fall which took us 45 seconds, while gliding with the parachute open was nice but not that thrilled.
Have fun,
Efrat and Yoni.
