LZ rocking the hiker look at the start of the Tongariro Northern circuit.

Seven hours later and she wasn't quite so smiley. But she is a trouper and made it in style!

Her joy at arrival was only slightly dampened by the lack of showers, and yet again she showed her mettle by doing it the Kiwi and bathing in the river. Well nearly, the presence of a nearby campsite meant it was Kiwi style plus bra and pants...

And I thought she was half French!!!
