Pip's wilderness adventure

08 March 2008
On Friday Sarah took a writing day and Pip went off to the Whakapapa and Whakepapaiti valleys on her own for a six-hour hike. On the way she entered the Hauhungatahi wilderness, with lots of amazing bog life and stunning views of the mountains. She enjoyed it and was glad it was only six hours. Her feet steamed when she put them in water at the other end.
We had two nights in the Discovery Lodge at Tongariro, to have power and do the washing. This place has stunning views, and on Saturday night they had an excellent BBQ on the deck looking across the central plateau at the sunset.
