The glamour of travel. When we came to leave Ohakune to head up to Taupo we discovered that a round Lake Taupo cycle ride was taking place that weekend. In short, this meant that all of the accommodation was booked up and almost all of the buses were also full. In consequence, we found ourselves waiting around in a small rubbish road town for several hours trying to get out. Eventually, it transpired that the bus stop was actually at the public toilets. For such a dump, this was rather apt. And it was raining. Really hard.
