Here’s an update in the coffee-making zone.

In the NZ trip photos there were a few from the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, a 20km hike that crosses the volcanic craters between the peaks of Mt. Ngauruhoe and Mt. Tongariro.
You want to see more of those photos?
There's a full post, 80 photos and the usual 'light commentary'.

If you’ve ever thought “I would love to see some photos from New Zealand locations such as Auckland, Tauranga, and Ohakune, and it would be perfect if there was some light commentary to go with the photos”, I have some *great* news for you.
