Tongariro Crossing

Well, just got back from the longest walk ever, turned out to be 19.2km over some fantastic mountains (including going past Mt Doom!), had such a great time but am really exhausted now! Am heading off to Wellington tomorrow and may stay there for a few days, watch this space!

Lake Taupo + National Park

Left Taupo yesterday after being very disappointed by the weather - we weren't able to skydive at all, which sucked! Went on a bit of a sailing trip instead and saw some lovely Maori carvings in the rockface, which was interesting at least.

Arrived today in Tongariro National Park to inclement weather (it pissed it down lol), but it cleared up enough for us to do a 2 hour walk and to get some stunning photos, woohoo! Tomorrow am doing the arduous Tongariro crossing - a 17km hike across some stunning mountain ranges, if the weather holds. Should be fun!
