Plans

On my way back from Palmerston North to Auckland, this beautiful cherry was on the way.

Expedition

Very non eventful, at least the hash gave me an excuse to have a break from the 6.5 hour drive from Palmy to Auckland. Was quite lucky with this location as a lot of the land in this area is Army Training Area thus restricted access. So I parked up on the side of the road, jumped the fence, scared the sheep. Followed the red dot on my phone and snapped a couple of pictures. Mt Ruapehu, the North Islands only skiing mountain has a heavy coating of snow, it being the middle of winter over here.
