The sky at sunrise was phenomenal, by far the very best sunrise I have ever seen in my life. The walk ahead of us today was a long one, the guide estimated 4.5 hours which meant we would be walking for at least 6 hours (I would love to know who these people are that walk it in 4.5, I guess the same people that hike Tongariro in 6 hours). We made really great time today, we were at our halfway point (Totaranui, home of the pesky sand fly) by half 9.
