The Misty Mountains

So we’re back at Tongariro National Park. And again, the weather is shit. This just really really really bothers me. When we were here last time, over two months ago, the weather forecast showed nothing good for the next few days, and today’s the third day in a row we’re doing absolutely nothing here because the weather’s just too bad to go out there. Two days ago; dense fog. Yesterday; drizzle and fog. Today; dense clouds starting at about 1000m (you are walking above that so it’s the same as walking in dense fog). Tomorrow; showers. The day after tomorrow; heavy rain and thunderstorms. Can you &*^@%&$&* believe that? Well, we’re off to sunny Napier once again anyway, so screw them nice crater lakes and volcanic pits and all.
