Tongariro National Park and sailing on Lake Taupo

Hiked to a few waterfalls in the National Park with views of volcano’s. The one posted here was Mount Doom in the Lord of the Rings for all of you Hobbit nerds. Ended the day with a splendid sail on Lake Taupo to see a Māori carving. Met lovely people on the boat.
