Mt. Ruapehu 2008

November 22, 2008

On a clear day we can see Mt. Ruapehu, New Zealand’s most active volcano, from our driveway. Last weekend we decided to take the kids sledding on it. Most of the snow in the sledding area had melted already (it’s spring here and was in the 70’s). However, being from North Carolina, they haven’t sledded much and weren’t disappointed. After sledding we took a short hike at the base of the mountain in what appeared to be a rainforest. We also drove through Okahune, the carrot capital of New Zealand. There is supposed to be a big preserved carrot there, but we couldn’t find it. Hopefully next time.
