I'm so pleased you got to see this amazing volcano as it looks really beautiful. The pic of the steps is weird isn't it? I wasn't sure if they were going up or down until I read your words.

Thanks Yasmin, it really was gorgeous!!! We enjoyed that trip a lot. Very special place ❤️

It is so weird that picture, I agree!! That landscape went up and up for almost 3 hours! Such a strange feeling when you look ahead and can’t tell if the track goes up or down.

Gosh, I assumed it was just an optical illusion in the photograph... if it was also mind-bending in real life it must have been designed with intent.

The effect was real! Only because of the pain in the legs I knew we were going up. Actually, it’s the first time I’ve done such a long hike all nicely paved in these timber slats. Curiously it’s a very common here in NZ to pave the hikes and build steps into the trail.
