(J + 86) Pirongia's Revenge and Alex's Birthday



We’ve planned to eat a traditional meal with Narni’s family on Sunday so we’ve had to stay in Hamilton this weekend. This meal is called “hangi” and its cook in the earth. Unfortunately, Narni’s dad’s friend passed away on Saturday and so the meal was canceled.



On Saturday we wanted to attain the summit of Pirongia Mountain, the one we didn’t manage to reach the last time because we took the wrong way! So we planned to admire the view from the top on this day. Weather was pretty good and we walked fast, after only 1h30 we arrived at 959m above sea level!

A huge cloud accompanied us during our stay at the highest point of Pirongia. Then we went back to the parking, after taking a long break at Ruapane Lookout to enjoy a peaceful and good moment looking at the landscape. Then we came back to Hamilton to celebrate Alex’s birthday (20 years old). Good time for all of us.

The following day we were hung over and spend the day in recovery :)
