Malc has put up some amazing photos from our trip through the North Island in Jan.
A taster from my morgueatlarge email:
We set off Jan 11, stopping at the Army Museum in Waiouru before circling Mt Ruapehu and setting up camp in its shadow. It was a rare clear day, offering unfettered views of Ruapehu and its companion mountain, Tongariro. Next day we pushed up to Whangamata in the Coromandel Peninsula, east of Auckland. Had a lovely swim at the beach there, a wonderful golden-sand curve. Didn’t see any sharks…
Read the rest if you so desire, but the real joy is those photos.
