The last time I was in Waiouru, Mt Ruapehu was erupting (in the background, fourth pic) chucking 1 tonne boulders for kilometres and belching smoke and ash, so that our flight to Taupo was cancelled and we Rent-a-car'd it instead. Will there be another volcanic eruption in late January in those Shaky Isles of yours?
