Mount Taranaki

We left sunny but chilly Wellington after a stroll up Mount Victoria.

Early morning stroll....

and drove up to New Plymouth, home to Mount Taranaki. We arrived just in time to see the sun set behind the Mountain.

We decided not to go mad taking photos as there would be plenty of oppportunity the following day. Oh! But there wasn't! We had rain for the rest of our time here which meant no walking, no sightseeing and absolutely no more views of the magnificent snow capped volcano!
