An invitation; a long weekend; a chance to get away and forget the renovations and the head-to-toe hives that are driving me crazy; gorgeous weather; an opportunity to spend some time with some beautiful people; and some awesome scenery.
Naturally we agreed.
Apparently it was also the end of the ski season which was the driving factor for some in our party.
But for DH and I it was an opportunity to simply get away and enjoy some scenery. And what a spectacular show Mount Ruapehu and Mount Ngauruhoe put on. It would seem that the very rocks praised our God and Creator!
We did the two-hour return walk to Taranaki Falls beginning with the Higher Track and returning via the Lower Track. A short stop at the falls for "lunch" was a perfect mid-way break.
Then back to the house where we were staying where we were greeted with even more perfect views of the mountain (if that were possible) ...
How incredible it would be to wake up to this every day!
All the earth shall worship You
And sing praises to You;
They shall sing praises to Your Name. Selah.
Psalm 66:4, NKJV
