Mt Ruapehu
Ruapehu from the Taranaki Falls track, Tongariro National Park. At this point we are already on the mountain at approximately 1250 metres.
It seems I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to altitude. At this level (and we stayed here five nights) my nose bled. Up at around 2200 metres (above the snowline) breathing was a little difficult. So I probably won't grow up to be a mountain climber ;-)
