Third day, again woke to clear skies and not a breath of wind. Ngauruhoe red in sunrise. Misted over for a while later, no gales. Chatted to a family from Edinburgh, with 9&11year old daughters who did the circuit, the little one got to the top of Ngauruhoe, the big one nearly did but put off by loose stuff at the top. Also made friends with Simona & Lili, L&A's ages, first major walk. They needed a lift back to their hostel, so we walked down with them via Lake Tama, that we were nearly blown into last year. We stopped at the waterfall just before Whakapapa for a wonderfully refreshing swim (not Roger), then a beer for us girls, and huge ice cream sundae for Roger.
One day to regroup, then another tramp.
