Description: Hi everyone. We spent a Saturday in November 2020 circling Mt Ruapehu in the north island and driving through the Central Plateau. In this vlog we start in Turangi and then make our way down the Desert Road with a side trip into the Pillars of Hercules and the Tukino Ski Field before stopping at Waiouru, Tangiwai and then onto Ohakune and our accommodation for the night in Whakapapa Village.
