The cyclone was approaching and the effects were already clearly felt. The sky was overcast and at times it rained a little. The weather forecast did not predict completely catastrophic weather for the day, but at altitude it is a bit completely different. Wind speeds of over 150 km/h were predicted for the summit and that should be taken seriously. But of necessity I drove to the mountain and wanted to look around at least a little until it got worse. The cyclone should come only from night and the next day fully to the effect. In addition, no one knew where he now really pulls.

By chance I managed to get to New Zealand after all. After an incredibly long journey with a one-night stopover in Sydney, I arrived in Rotorua. I had some time to look around now and made some small excursions into the surroundings of Rotorua.
