Tongariro Crossing 23 January
The Tongariro Crossing is billed as New Zealand’s best one day walk. It’s a 17Km hike across volcano tops made famous as the Mountains of Mordor in Lord of the Rings. The track is fascinating as it tramps over, or passes near to 3 active volcanoes,
The first time we tried to “do” the crossing we were warned off because of bad weather. This time we were told that, OK, the forecast may not be good, but it’s bound to clear and you’ll see breathtaking views of the volcanoes. Yeah, right.
It started to rain as we got on the bus to take us to the walk, and it’s still raining as we write the blog. Hotels in Singapore have a certain allure.
THERE SHE BLOWS:
Mount Ruapehu, the highest and most active volcano in the area, last erupted in 1995. According to seismologists, it’s about time she blew again. Look out below!
