Tongariro Crossing

---

So im used to going to bed at 5am not getting up then! It was about an hour and half bus drive to The start. I walked it with Sarah aussie girl from Tasmania. Shortly after the start we went up what they casll devils staircase and it certainly was. WEnt through the volcanos, saw red crater, emerald lakes, blue lake absolutly amazing view and well worth the climb up. Sarah had a good camera and a photographer so she is going to email her pics as they will probably be better than mine so ill send them on when i get them. Then at the end we walked through the bush. Amazing walk as it was like you were walking on another planet and then into thebush. WE started about 7.15 am and finished it at about 2.30. So we were pretty tired after. Got the bus back and went out in the eving for a few drinks.
