: Çome with Kirsty to the beautiful Mangahao Valley: languid lakes nestling among steep bush clad hills. Experience the thrill of a night time drive along narrow roads above sheer drops! You too can enjoy an early morning brew as the morning mists rise. Discover dainty native orchids, feathery ferns and the freshness of the lush native bush. Out on the tops among leatherwood, drachyphyllum and snow grass, see thé peaks of Mts Taranaki; Raupehu and Ngaruahoe floating above the clouds. Sleep snugly in the orange hut with I cordon bleu" meals - cheesecake dessert and great company in the warm hut. Thrill tc travellers' tales of Nepal, India, Burma, Thailand and Sumatra, as you return the next day. Just contact L Kirsty for the next scheduled trip. : Thanks to Kirsty, Robyn, Andrea and the 'two' terrible teenagers', Jeannie and. Anns Lorna Chinn
