Bruno's farewell. Muac Hut

We spent last weekend at the Muac Hut, below Torua skifield on Mount Ruapehu, around two hours away from Palmy. The hut can accommodate around 30 people in hut style bunks. It's got flush toilets, hot showers, kitchen, coal fire, and lighting...luxury!!

Together with other 25 people we celebrated Bruno's farewell party with a pot-luck (which included an awesome Swiss fondue), slacklining and other ready-made crazy indoor sports...

On Sunday, Phil went up to the summit of Mount Ruapehu (2,797m) together with Erich, and I joined most of the others on a day walk to lake Surprise, a 4 hours walk which is part of the Round the Mountain track.

Taranaki

This is Mount Taranaki (or Mount Egmont), 2,518m high, an active volcano in the West coast of the North Island. It's so much like Mount Fuji that some of the scenes for The Last Samurai were filmed here.Some scientists from Massey University believe a large eruption here is overdue (scaaary)
