Today's weather has been miserable. It's been cloudy all day and the rain has been on and off. It's such a shame because Lake Taupo would be so beautiful in the sun.
We were meant to be doing a 19km walk today that includes a 2km stairway called Devils Staircase at the beginning but the Tongariro crossing was closed because of severe winds and rain. So instead we have basically spent the day bumming around between the hostel and the town. We mooched around the shops for a bit. There's not much to when it's raining and you're on a budget.
This evening I had an amazing shower, which was probably the best shower I've found so far. It was hot and powerful, and it was so nice to have a hot shower after having to have a cold one at the previous hostel, which appeared to have no hot water whatsoever, either in the showers or kitchen. For dinner we cooked what was a very bare basic spag bol, even more so than last time and then we packed as we are moving on tomorrow.
