Chateau Tongariro


Our accommodation tonight was in Whakapapa Village, unfortunately not the main Chateau hotel in this picture, but the cheaper motel units behind. Ruapehu volcano is in the background.





This is the view back down the valley from the motel room - a non cloud moment, of which there weren't many today!






After dinner at the hotel bar we were fortunate to see Ruapehu as the cloud had cleared, the first time we had seen the top of the mountain since we arrived.
