Tongariro National Park to National Park village
Tongariro Crossing (19.4km-Trek)
37.68km ***Tot 604.82km***
woke up before the sunrise, Jason and me took the Shuttle bus and we did this trail (Tongariro Crossing)
Amazing Landscape!
Many many many MANYYYYYY stops to take photos !!! ^^ (I tried to found Gollum.... lol).
After few hours we was tired so we hoped camp again in the same place but when we came back in the Hollidays Park, The owner doesn't want make a check in again because was unsafe to camp this night (Cyclone Pam). We tried to stay and make a check in, ""if it' unsafe we can go to the kitchen, etc etc" imposible... so we took our bikes (we was tired...) and go to National Park Backpacker"
In National Park Village, Jason's GPS was wrong and we follow it, after a big descent, we found a backpacker but was full and imposible to make a check in, in this place they said us, this place is not where we would like to go, so we make a U turn and come back in National park Village (so the big descent was a big ascent... :S
We had a present from Mother Nature : an amazing sunset on Tongariro N.P. !
When we arrived in the backpacker, the office was (exceptionally) closed !
We just camped in the garden and if the wind or rain is too strong, we had a possibility to go inside, so safe !
The night was not to bad, was better than forecasts, i had a good night !
Nous nous sommes levés avant le levé du soleil, avons pris le bus pour aller au debut de la rando. Les paysages etaient magnifiques ! Beaucop de photos et pas moyen de voir Gollum lol.
Apres plusieurs heures de randos, nous renttrons au camping pour refaire un check-in mais imposible ! L'ouragan Pam est en apprLa nuit fut correct, bien moins de vents et de pluie que les previsions.
oche et du coup le proprietaire du camping refuse de nous redonner une place ! Direction le backpacker de National Park village. Nous suivons les indications du GPS de Jason qui nous dit que le Backpacker est apres le village, apres une grande descente nous arrivons a un backpacker mais complet, imposible donc de faire un check in, nous nous rendons compte que ce backpacker est pas celui qu'on cherchai et que celui qu'on veut est au village, GPS completement a l'ouest du coup retour au village et donc grande montée... Heureusement nous avons eu un cadeau de dame nature, un magnifique couché de soleil sur le Tongariro N.P !
Au backpacker de National Park village, le bureau est exeptionnellemet fermé ! On decide de camper et si jamais la meteo devenai pas securitaire, nous pouvons aller a l'interieur...
