View from the top .. and bottom
df and I have been having a little break in the Tongariro National Park in the central North Island. We took a chair lift ride up Mt Ruapehu ...
... and then, feeling full of the joys of the beautiful sunshine ... puffed, panted, slipped and scrambled our way up to a ridge where we were rewarded with views like this.
Clever us!

Clever us!After a freezing ride back down we looked up, and there was Mount Ngauruhoe glowing red in the light from the setting sun.
Mountains are mystical places ... so someone must have said. They are right.
