And those are from today's walk, at pretty big climb. The actual distance walked was a bit more than 19,4 km (and I ran the last 3 to make sure the bus wouldn't leave without us; long story). I just pulled a few pictures like that, haven't looked at the whole thing just yet.
Below is a view at people climbing to the top of Mount Tongariro; in the background is Mount Taranaki (or Mount Egmond). Both are active volcanoes.
Below is a view at Lake Rotoaira and Lake Taupo behind. Lake Taupo is New Zealand's biggest lake.
Heading to the South Island soon. It's said that the landscape are amazing there.
Just a note, for some reason colours and contrast are not rendered on the blog.
ReplyDeleteAnd since it's the first time I can actually write comments on my own site; thanks to everyone writing stuff on there. I like reading the comments.
I can hardly imagine more amazing landscapes than these. The teaser really works!

A 3 km run (with half a ton of equipment ?) is some feat. And Baseball is an Olympic event!
