first to first we reached there call a kiwi fren. coz we going to stay his place for 1 nite. His name call Dave. is a nice guy. after we meet up he bring us to the open spring water. that place is awesome nice. many pretty girl there also(no picture show want to see go there yourself). after the hot spring the iconic place for the Taupo . the Huka Fall, is a free spot. this place is a myth no idea who, how, when it will become like tat but u can see the picture at the slide show. the water is crazy strong. i wonder if there down inside th
