Day 12: Huka Falls

Today I’m heading to the Huka Falls. To get there, I have a two-hour hike ahead of me. It’s really exhausting, but the surrounding is worth it. After a small show of strength, I have reached my destination. The forces that rule here are immense. It is definitely a natural spectacle. On the way back, I meet Song. He is from South Korea and has been working in Napier (115km from Taupo) for three months. Before that, he lived in Australia for two years. When I asked him why he no longer lives in South Korea, he said that his way of life does not conform to the South Korean norm. I chat with him for about an hour before our paths separate again. When I return to my studio, I am really exhausted. I cook lunch and lie down in bed. Just in time for sunset, I go outside again. Taupo is a truly beautiful city!

After a small show of strength I have reached my destination. The forces that are ruling here are huge. It’s definitely an art of nature. On my way back I bumped into Song.he’s from South Korea and worked in Napier (115km from Taupo) for three months. Before that he lived in Australia for two years. When I asked him why he doesn’t live in South Korea anymore, he said that his way of living does not match with the South Korean standard. I chatted with him for about one hour until we are going our separate ways again. As I return to my studio am really exhausted and tired. I cook lunch and get some rest. In time for sunset I go outside again. Taupo is a really beautiful town!
