Tongariro National Park

we stayed at the grand chateau and our guide said that we should try exploring the trails, which we did… he said that we could finish the trail in 15 minutes. We finished it in 2 hours! The views are simply stunning.

I lived in Wellington for a year and a friend of mine took me on the crossing. We spent three days hiking the volcanos and staying in the huts. What a magical place! I miss New Zealand terribly and all the wonderful people I met while living there.

It’s Hot! You will go through about 2 liters of water per day.

great tramping

OMG.
