We are somewhere over the rainbow

In a place called Turangi on the south side of the huge Lake Taupo and close to the Tongariro park where we will hike tomorrow. The weather has changed about 50 times since we got here a few hours ago, with swings of 10-20 degrees. From cold and rainy to hot and sunny. And as you look at the mountains near our lodge and turn 360, you can see about 4 or 5 different weather conditions all at once. During one weather transition we saw an enormous and spectacular full rainbow. It was so big and close we couldn't get it into a single photo. Then it got sunny, we drove a bit down the road through bright sunshine. Then rain. Then another rainbow even bigger an better than the first. These pics from my iPhone don't do it justice!
