In Short...

I hitchiked to the Tongariro Crossing, Camped under a full moon and Stars in the National Park, Hiked Ngauruhoe Volcano to the rim, then between it and Roruapehu Volcano, Dodged a Killer Boulder at 40km/hr, Danced the Conga with 30+ CouchSurfers, Soaked up the Natural Hotsprings in Taupo, and made many New Friends Along The way.... it was a good weekend.
