We hiked the Tongariro Crossing yesterday and wow, it was steep! I am happy to say I survived - even though there were plenty of people over the age of 50 doing this 11-mile trek too, breezing by me the entire way, even on the ascent portion (!). It was a little bit like a roadrace, with more than 100 others on the trail at the same time, but we enjoyed the views. Last night we stayed in Turangi and this morning we drove down to the Kapiti Coast where we are now, by a beach at a bookstore with Internet access. Tomorrow will be dedicated to visiting Wellington. And the day will finish with our crossing by ferry to the South Island, which we hear is the REAL attraction. Here's me on the Tongariro track:
