I felt overwhelmed and greatly satisfied to have climbed a volcano which erupted from the sea in a series of dramatic explosions around 600 years ago. As I climbed on the volcanic lava rocks, on both sides of the tracks, there are vast patched of barren black hard rocks. Then I see moss, lichens , small plants and then trees to the largest Pohutukawa tree.
This is my once a life time feat, but I may change my mind. The water engineer said that when we have overseas visitors, this is one Auckland's tourist destination we will take them too. That is, provided they are fit. Go over to my other site, and see more photos and commentaries. http://ann-mythoughtsandphotos.blogspot.com/2010/04/scenic-sunday-climbing-rangitito-island.html
