Snow capped volcanos and waterfalls

Stopping off at Terikaki falls was a must when travelling from Taupo to River valley. Perfectly blue skies, above a dormant volcano and a refreshing waterfall was a lovely pit stop. There was a good footpath walk through the trees which looped you back round to a fancy hotel which served high tea. Unfortunately, I did not treat myself to that at the end (although I'm sure I deserved it).
