North Island Road Trip - The Forgotten World Highway

Day Three

We are blessed with a a beautiful clear spring day and we head out along the Forgotten World Highway with Mount Taranaki in our rear view mirror. The landscape is stunning and kind of reminds us of Teletubbie land and then there are so many stops for photographs and mum is wondering if we will ever get off this road.

We stop for morning tea at the Whangmomona Hotel in the Republic of Whangamona
The Moki Tunnel (or Hobbit Hole)
Lots of spring lambs 
The view to Mount Tongariro, Mount Ngaurhoe and Mount Ruapehu
And when we finally arrive in Taumarunui at the end of the road there is no where open for afternoon tea so after a quick trip round New World it is off onto Rotorua.
