Taihape to Papakura




Day 34, Tuesday, February 14, 2006 North of Taihape along the Desert Road are three majestic volcanoes, two of which are shown here, Ruapehu and Ngauruhoe (the cone shaped one). These are still active but were sleeping today. Just north of Taupo is a thermal area named “The Craters of the Moon”. It consists of numerous steam vents, large to very small, (like gopher holes with a sauna) and bubbling mud.
