C’est parti pour la plus connue des randonnée : le Tongariro crossing! Que c’est beau de se retrouver seuls au monde au milieu de ces volcans ! La randonnée est assez longue mais pas très difficile. C’est splendide, la couleur des lacs et des cratères mais il ya énormement de monde. On arrive malgré tout à prendre quelques photos tout seul Retour dans l’après midi au camp (on aura mis 6h30 au total au lieu des 8 h prévues) Petit milkshake avant le traditionnel spa puis une pétanque pour savoir qui prépare les dîners des prochains jours ( j’ai perdu donc c’est moi ! )
