We went back!!! After about a week, the knowledge that we didn't make it to the top of Ngauruhoe was to much for us (mainly me), and we decided to go back to make it to the submit. After a 3 hour drive, we were back in Whakapapa (pronounced Fakapapa) village.
We're back!
Since it was Easter Sunday, there were many other people doing the crossing.
Almost at the top!
Lava formation. Notice Caryl's leg in the to left...
Some clouds...
Sandwiches at the top! We made it!!! Waiting for the clouds to clear...
The clouds are moving out!
Inside the crater.
We made it into the crater!
The rocks inside the crater were filled with little bugs. We have no idea what they eat!
Clouds moving in again after about 15 minutes.
Between the two rims of the crater.
Outside rim.
Skiing our way back to the bottom!
View from the top.
Cool rocks.
Back at the bottom, racing to make it back to the car by dark (we made it!).
