I went up a mountain!

So today I went up mount Ngauruhoe or as most people know it as Mount Doom from the Lord of the Rings movies. 19.6 km in 6 hours! The views where amazing! It was very physically demanding but I would it again in a heart beat. I could have gone up all the way but I wouldn't have made it back down in one piece. Heehee. There isn't really much to say but here is some pictures!

Off to the national park!

Today we will be leaving for New Zealand's national park! It's been so long I forget everything that I've done! Ops! So I'll just put up some random photos.

An absolute fairy tale.

Sorry for not updating more! There hasn't been much to say. I'm in waihi beach at Kelsey's friends batch (that means cabin!). There hasn't been a whole lot going on. It's been pretty rainy the whole time and we've just sat around doing nothing. Until today. It called for 100% chance of rain. So I woke up to sunny skies. Pretty great. So seeing our chance myself, Graeme, Michelle, Emma and Alexis went on a hike to these amazing falls. It was so beautiful! Words and pictures will not be able to actually explain it! But of course I took loads of pictures. :). At the falls you can actually climb up to an area by the falls and there is this pool of water there. It's hard to explain but it was like from a movie!! An absolute fairy tale! We will be here until the 8th then we're off to Rotorua. We plan to be in Wellington by Christmas where a family friend of Kelsey's has invited all 8 of us for Christmas!! :) I can't wait. Well that's all I got for now.
