Heading into the unkown!
Everyone we met in New Zealand had talked about the Tongariro Crossing and we thought we should see what all the fuss was about! It is a day long walk up and over a volcanic area in the north island. The return journey was just as good as the first, well maybe a bit more adrenaline filled! We drove from Wellington to Turangi, where we did the Tongariro crossing which was amazing and features among our top 3 things to do in NZ! We then drove to Taupo, where before we had time to unpack we threw ourselves out of a plane at 12,000 ft! Next stop was the Waitomo caves, which contain lots of glow worms, and then it was on to Auckland to meet up with Emma and Jenny again. They very kindly put us up for a couple of nights, one of which included a night out on the town!
We were very sad to leave New Zealand as we had made so many new friends and had such an amazing time.
