A rainy hiking day, talking in german at the campsite, slipping in the mud, 37k day
beautiful vulcan lakes, steep ascent, hundreds of people crossing the opposite direction, stunning views
walking around Mt Ruapehu, changing terrain, all kinds of paths, DOC woman telling me about the rules in the area and asking me about a tool to dig a hole...
amazing scenery, a beautiful waterfall, worth the little hike up to the second lake, old erupted vents
more ravines, perfect weather, an inspiring old man, diverse landscapes, arriving at 9.30 pm at the hut after about 70 k + each 2 k up and down
waterfalls and more waterfalls and cascading creeks
beautiful scenery, flowers, a surprise lake, a colourful creek and an interesting hole in the ground
Climbing up the mountain for the best views so far, blue sky, running down on sand and rocks
Christmas days on the river canoeing with friends, first whole day raining, delicious dinners because of fresh and diverse food in the barrels we didn't have to carry
