Mosi'ing Around the World

Our NZ adventure continues on from Rotorua to a town called Turangi. The drive to Turangi was full of more cows, rolling hills, and a beautiful lake called Lake Taupo. Wish I had chosen to stay in Taupo even though it was a little further from our big hike location... Turangi was super small and didn't have a whole lot going on (apparently trout fishing is the big thing there). Lake Taupo We stayed three nights in Turangi to give ourselves a choice of two days to do the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. We decided on the second day, and so began our journey!

Kia ora! That's Maori for hi/hello/be well. We made it to New Zealand! It was a nice and easy nonstop flight from Melbourne to Auckland. And so, we begin our journey in middle earth starting on the north island. Kola says kia ora!
