Alison and I had a couple of days in Tongariro National Park at Easter on the way to visit Mum in Te Awamutu. We walked part of the Old Coach Road, a couple of hours in from the Ohakune end. I finally made it to this track after missing it in December. The next day we walked the Taranaki Falls track and laughed at the memory of Alison falling in the stream at the top of the falls. Not so funny for her at the time but it hasn't put her off walking the track again. The weather was perfect and it was surprising to see Ruapehu bare of snow on the Whakapapa side.
