    Started the Tongariro Northern Circuit but couldn't complete it due to bad weather. Walked from Whakapapa to Mangatepopo hut on the first day and waited in the hut for a day for the weather to clear and then hiked to emerald lakes on day three and back to Whakapapa on day four. Stayed one night at the Chateau Tongariro. The first waterfall is Taranaki Falls and the last waterfall is Gollum's Pool (Tawahi Falls).
