New Zealand Photo Journal #8: Cycling Lake Taupo

Come join me for this 50-image photo journal as I cycle and hike across New Zealand. In this eighth volume I'll be cycling south from the Waikite Thermal Pools to the town of Taupo to see a movie, drink a beer, and enjoy some civilization. Next I'll be pedaling along the coast of Lake Taupo to the city of Turangi where I get happily distracted by a pretty girl and make plans to hike the mythical Tongariro Alpine Crossing. I hope you enjoy these images and travel thoughts as much as I did photographing them and living the adventure.
