Turangi, 4:30 clock in the morning ... the hair is ... of course not! How should it short after one night! It was still dark and cold, bitter cold! But we were not alone, we were with 10 other people awake. This is quite normal when you are one of the most impressive walks through makes the active volcanoes
venture.
5:59 clock still morning, we will be met by a YELLOW shuttle. The driver, a local native who earned his retirement, made a good impression. The bus was old and decrepit, 35min Faht lay before us. The dawn begins, and only clouds everywhere and nothing but clouds! Fog began to spread. That can be an exciting trip. The wheels of the bus and fogged so for one time so funny Smilies zuklaren to the windows.
6:34 clock arrived at the starting point. It was slightly chilly but we were well prepared. What you could not tell from all the walking people from our bus. Hmm, gym shoes and shorts for hiking?, Well, why not as long as I do not have to run around. Without hesitation we ran into the morning fog hinnein without knowing what was waiting for us. But faster than expected, he turned up ... Mt Ngauruhoe, known to many as Mount Doom from the movie "Lord of the Rings." A cozy beginning it had been. Most of the time it went up blind alleys over a small stream. The area rather barren and swampy.
7:00 clock we reach the first toilets, we were glad we had finished our main business already in the hostel. See other valences gabs Bishins little.
8:30 clock The day is now fully awake and the sun shining
te us, we already have endless stairs hinterunsgelassen, it should not be the last, the fog disappeared and we were on a level with the clouds, which are slowly dissolves. As we stood at 1650 at the foot of Mt Ngauruhoe on a small plateau. What is avarice, we wanted to look into the abyss, so it was said to master the 800m steep ascent. Who schonmal ne sand dune is started, you know what I'm talking about. Just as it did feel, the mountain ash hochzukrabbeln tedious. Completely out of breath erre
we layers after 1 1/2h somehow the Gip
doubt and did not look bad that we view on a comparison seemed endless sea of clouds had. TOLL ... clouds! I will not conceal that this is a highly active Vukan rises from the constantly a little smoke. It is probably only a matter of time! It was slightly windy and chilly in just under 2200m altitude, but we have let us not miss a course welcoming 2.tes breakfast to eat. Only one fix Virgin sacrificed to the god of fire to calm down and then off you. We made the descent in less than 20min! Who knows sandboarding, who missed Ashboarding or as I like to call "Volcano Surfing". So we slid down on our bare feet of the mountain, I would have even packed the slippers!
clock 11:11 Back on the Plateau! The common rabble ie the 8:30 now tours were also arrived and the track felt. I do not know what's going on in the season. Well we were always in front of 13.6 km in about 6 hours! Gemuetlich we walked through an area with wuestenaehnlich slight ground fog, all very mystical. Ju
hu started looking up, thank God, not as high and steep. Arrived
we were frozen in a small snow field. The clouds gave up and there was yet another view, which we hold in photos do not. We fed the schwelfigen sources, a well known smell we shot through the nose ... it smells yummy again rotten eggs. We stayed there for long, it's me enigmatic as some rest there and what could eat.
12:58 clock we reached a small lake in the throat of another volcano filled. Peacefully and almost no wind, we stayed there something we were all right in time. Ahead of us were still at least 8km arduous descent. Serpentinmaessig it was probably the boring part of the trail are slightly downhill and I I'd rather tell you again the Aschberg climbed up as this "dam (iss) eidenen" way to run. The shoes began to pressure on me and I wish I had bought a size bigger, from now the pain was our constant companion, who is happy now wearing sneakers!
13:44 clock at the lodge for half an hour's rest gabs. Finally back toilets, off the road was the transactions are strictly prohibited, well, there was not a bush or tree where it had hoped to hide behind. You can imagine what was going on there! Whoa, I was glad that I did not feel any needs! The feet broken, the condition in the basement, the motivation is zero, in short, the battery was empty, but we still were still 4km ... * Heul * The only thing is now verrantreibt one's own will. The prospect of redemption of the shoes to drag when I finally arrive below were my motivation.
16:05 clock DONE, socks smoked, the child fell next to me fainted, I did not care. Just do not move!
clock 16:30 ALL have it on time again made to the bus, a miracle I thought I had seen some the feeling that we never again, well it can be deceiving. 1 hour later we were in a near boiling thermal pools, one of us rose the heat Bißle in the head I will not tell you now that I was not: P On the whole a great experience that we will not soon forget. Sore muscles, blisters and abrasions for the next time will be our constant companion, and every day to remind us how it's great but actually was. In this sense ...
