Circle Pacific 1998/99 - Day 75 - New Zealand

• Bus to Taupo
• Went to hostel advertising TV + private bath in each room - had a nap - walked around - came back to discover TV was a dud - management wouldn't swap it out, so we swapped hostels
• After checking into new hostel, desk girl said, No, they couldn't store our bags while we hitched to Waitomo - so now no reason to be in Taupo
