Taupo is a city in New Zealand.
Hitching out
=== North: There is a new express way which bypasses the town, so unless you want to walk 10km to where it meets the old road i suggest you walk south along the lake front until you get to a mobil service station on your left and the turn off to napier. walk up this road to the right, and you will come to an intersection with a roundabout where you can then turn left heading towards hamilton and auckland and hitch on the shoulder there.
/South: the same directions as above, except you can turn right at the roundabout and hitchhike in the direction of turangi/wellington. or just past the mobil service station (mentioned above) if you continue straight there is a big space free on the left with empty parking and alot of room for cars to stop and for you to stand. hitch here to head towards turangi and wellington.
/West/
East towards napier ===same as mentioned for heading north but head straight ahead at the roundabout.
