Taupo to Bethlehem

We left our Airbnb in Taupo at around 9am & drove, north, to Tauranga, where we spent some time walking on the beach, near Mt Manganui. At 2, we made our way to our new “home away from home” in a suburb of Tauranga, called Bethlehem, where we’ll spend the next 4 nights. Driving on the highways was easy, despite some early fog. Driving in the city is stressful, as there are lots of roundabouts. We hope to be able to walk to pick up groceries, etc, as our unit is well equipped with cooking, & laundry facilities.Read more
