A month from today, 4 April 2019, we leave on our flight to Paris, the first leg of our journey to St Jean Pied de Port in France. St Jean Pied de Port is a village in the foothills of the Pyrenees; from there we will step out to start our Camino, the Camino Francés, to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
This morning we walked up to the summit of Kakepuku, as we've done many times before, as part of our preparation.
Early morning start
Sunlight breaking through
Jeff is at the top of the stairs
A Maori blessing for those who climb Kakepuku
The blessing in English
An archeological plan
Ngauruhoe and Ruapehu were visible in the distance - as was Taranaki further around
Our packs and poles go everywhere with us
Pirongia looking way lower than it really is
