In the middle of the North Island, you have a lot to see, specially with the volcanos. But to see the volcanos, you need a good weather, otherwise you can only see the ground…

Fortunately, the ground is also nice to see.

For instance, you can see water in every shape :

Peaceful lakes

Powerful cascades

Nice waterfalls

Strange mist

And if you are bored with the water, you can always look at the ducks begging for food.
