New Zealand: Taupo - Huka Falls, the amaze-st falls.

Isn't easy at all to upload this entry's photos, i gonna choose 300+ photos from 4 different cameras and upload 5 by 5, i wonder why blogspot not upgrading their photos upload system, this is troublesome to upload photo max 5 per time and it doesn't allow us to arrange photos easily after uploaded it, hmpf!

Well, where have i been this time?

After bungy jumping, 5 of us went to another famous attraction of Taupo, Huka Falls.

Huka Falls are the largest falls on the Waikato River, which is one of NZ's longest rivers and it drains Lake Taupo, another attraction in Taupo, also the largest freshwater lake in all of the Australasia.

You can either drive to the falls or choose a very good scenery walkway, just take you 2 hours for returns. You would pass through a thermal stream that is absolutely free and hot! Bring your swimsuit or t-shirt with short if you would like a enjoyable swim in hot stream.

Fantastic scenery? No, not yet



Its winter, no kidding, but the water is hot.



My mates


After the hot stream, the path leads us to another amazing scenery.











I have no captions on the above photos, as you can see, the water is cystal clear. This is the clearest water that i ever seen in my life. Even clearer than Pulau Redang! I was so impressed.

I bet it will be fun if we come during summer or spring, no doubt here is the best place to swim!

After an hour of walk, we heard the sound of water, i mean, sound of BIG FALLS!!

We quickly run to the sound of falls.














Amazing ain't? This is so impressive! The best falls i ever seen. Would like to return for falls jet riding!


Below attach the falls WITHOUT sound! Damn i set wrong and the video recorded without sound! But heck this is amazing, even though no sound! Enjoy!
