Weather is "fine"

Island life is simple, I know, however I would like a few more details in the weather forecast on the evening news than the weather on the North Island will be "fine" tomorrow.

Yesterday K and I went to Tongariro National Park. Better known as Mordor from Lord of the Rings. We did some off trail hiking straight up Mt Ruapehu. Who says you can't hike in Sambas? We also did some tramping in the forest to see waterfalls.

On the way back we drove through Rotorua, a volcanic city. Not somewhere I would care to live, as it always smells like sulfur due to the gysers everywhere.
Today we went out to the port city of Whakatane (the "wh" is pronounce like an f). Not much to talk about there, but got to see the ocean from another view.
