Wellington

Yesterday we arrived and had rain, today beautiful as ever … Actually we had lots of luck with the weather, travelling from town to town was mostly bad weather, hiking and sightseeing mostly good weather so just perfect. Hopefully it continues like this… Happy new year to you all!

Hobbingen to Mordor

Today we took the bus from Wellington to Taupo. So we passed green sheep lawn valee “Hobbingen” over vulcano desert landscapes to “Mordor”. And all of this in about 6 hours, quit amazing! Today we visited and swam in hot springs. The day after tomorrow we’ll do our final vulcano hike, the “Tongorio northern circuit”. Hopefully the weather is fine, forecast looks bad… Cya soon!

Lake Taupo, Hot Springs & Hooka River

Just a small sidetrip today. Taupo is where we actually stay another night. The hot springs at “Crators of the Moon” and “Hooka Falls & River” are just within a one hour walking distance, so we checked ‘em out today. Tomorrow 4 days hardcore hiking at “Mordor” will follow, so far, till later…
