    We hung close to our campground today, recovering from yesterday's hike. We sat down by the stream running through the campground and read our books, watched the new Knives Out movie, Glass Onion, in our campervan, learned about volcanoes at the Tongariro National Park visitor's center and did some chores to clean up and reorganize our van. The campground also runs a little food truck operation that we had tried out after our hike yesterday and decided to come back for lunch there today to confirm whether it was as incredible as it seemed after hiking for 12 miles. It didn't disappoint! They put beets on burgers here, which I think is something we're going to start doing at home too!Read more
