We started our road t
rip at 7AM on Thursday morning. It was cold and rainy. I found out my little car does not do too well when it’s cold. It didn’t seem to be moving up the hills quite as fast as it did before. I had to “reboot” the car at one point by turning off the engine and restarting it. After that I think it warmed up and has had no problems.
Lori and I drove past Lake Taupo, which is the biggest lake in the North Island. We read that it’s the skydiving capital of the world. We might have to make a stop there on the way back down to Hawke’s Ba.JPG)
y! We then drove down to Tongoriro National Park. Our guide book suggested a 6 hour hike through the Tongoriro Crossing which was said to be spectacular. When we got there, a big sign said, “Pick axe and crampons required!” We decided to do that another day and instead opted for the alternative- a 20 minute walk to Tawhai Falls, which required no additional gear!

I will expect pictures of the Tongoriro Crossing when no additional equipment is required. Is it on your to do list?
