Day 5 took me to National Park, NZ where the Tongariro crossing is. This is one of the places where The Lord of the Rings was filmed. We called the big mountain Mt.Dome, but I think Mt. Ngauruhoe is the technical name. The is the place where Frodo has to bring the ring to apparently. The actual passing is like a 9 hour hike/walk and is supposed to have breathtaking views, but it was super duper windy that day and so they wouldn't let anyone cross. But, we still hiked around for a couple hours in the mountains which was nice. Once again, the scenery is amazing!
