After having a great time at Mt. Taranaki we drove further to the Tongario National Park. I was so existed to do the Tongario Alpine Crossing, which is one of the best hikes in New Zealand. As the weather was not on our side, the only thing we could do in the area was to visit the Whakapapa. It is a ski area and it is possible to do some hikes up there in the summer. As we had snow and rain, we sadly only got a coffee in the restaurant. Due to the weather condition we also were not able to do Tongario Alpine Crossing, as there was a blizzard and all hikes were canceled. And we had to stay in a hut instead of the tent, as it was snowing in the National Park for two days.
