the trip cut short

Made some plans to go down to Tongariro National Park, was going to do the crossing, but darn the rain, so the 3 days 2 nights trip was cut short to just a night of great dinner and a few drinks, one night stay at the backpackers, a bit of visiting in Taupo the next day and I'm back here in Hamilton!

If only we were a bit more concerned with the weather forecast, and did not put too much hope into the weather clearing up. Came back feeling a lil disappointed that we couldn't do the crossing, guess I'll have to go back another time then. Nevertheless, it was still quite a fun trip down.
As it was raining, and raining the whole time, I didn't manage to take much photos.. here's a few nice ones..
