Today was a travel day with coffee and lunch stops. We did stop at the Wairakei geothermal plant which utilizes the 230-260 degree Celsius steam to generate power. Next was a Huko (foam) falls, a small waterfall. Lunch was in Lake Taupo and then we climbed into a National Park to view Mt. Ruapehu, 2797m, an active volcano. The approaches to Wellington (2 of them) hug the narrow coast with hills surrounding you. It only took an accident to completely block traffic for over 20 minutes.
