The beauty of this place is so overwhelming, so grand, and so vast. From the almost inhabitable land, to the lush bush to the towering mountains. I want to go back.

There truly is nothing like being in the depths of this great country to get perspective.

And, yes, that second photo of me at the edge of the waterfall is when I got a little vertigo.

Until next time

If you ever get the chance to visit Tongariro National Park. Go. Do it. You will in no way regret it.

Last weekend the husband and I had the pleasure of a long weekend in the crisp air. Celebrating six years of marriage, six years of  the good, the great, and the heartbreaking. No tv, no work, just  us, the fresh air, the mountains, incredible vistas in a dinky wee cabin with a fire place and of course a scruffy wee Frankie. Utter perfection.

Along with the above ( Plus copious amounts of cheese, crackers and wine ) there was a fair bit of picture taking, Here is the first of two installments.

Enjoy

Until next time
