Big day on the bike! We took the main highway and then connected to the Old Coach road, a 15 kilometre track which goes through the bush, really fun ride. Got supplies in Okahune, famous for Carrots, and had a picnic at the big carrot adventure park. Then, we had 60 kilometres of uninterupted nature, along the River Road and he Whanganui river, all the way to the Coolest campsite, the Flying Fox. You have to get a cart which crosses the river, the best!

One of the most famous day walks in New Zealand, the Tongariro Crossing crosses an active volcano. It's a suitable walk for most levels - quite steep towards the top. We saw lots steam coming out from the craters and beautiful lakes. Very very windy on the way up and then the surroundings opened up on the other side of mountain with much less wind. The final three kilometres are through the bush, a perfect ending. Would highly recommend, make sure to book shuttle bus before.

Run along the seafront in Crotone with still and relaxing sea, opposite to my racing heart beat and sweaty face.

Epic day in the saddle! Arrived at top of the mountain in the dark. Wild horses and cattle along the path. Great riding on and off road!
