Woke up at 5.30am headed to Ketetahi (the starting point of theTongariro crossing).
A 19.4Km track, passing Tongariro and Ngauruhoe, 2 inactive volcanoes.
(Also, the filming location of the "Lord of the Rings")
The start of the track.. looking fresh and excited!
One of the many waterfalls to come.
The famous TongariroVolcano (1886m) also known as "Mount Doom".
The climb of the volcano was not part of the 19.4km track but we decided to do it. (Again still looking fresh and excited)
Jusqu'ici tout va bien :-)
Starting to feel the cold.
Finally after 2 hours, we made it to the top!!! (Scary and amazing!)
Top of the world (incredibly windy, we could barely walk)
3 amazing natural lakes.
Mo trying the water.
A short break.
Mo trying some "better water".
Nearly there...
Made it at last... after 10 hours! Not looking very fresh and excited anymore.
