Whakapapa, Mt Ruapehu

Hard at work in Kerry's office

I was packed up this morning and taken up to work with Kerry at Whakapapa on Mt Ruapehu. I had to hide coz apparently dogs aren’t allowed up on Mt Ruapehu. Apparently kiwis (as in the birds) are pretty scared of us dogs. So they should be, I’ve been practising my best growl! (see DOC publication Saving our kiwi - Threats to kiwi)

I ended up at work with Kerry until Tuesday. I even crashed the end of season staff bbq at LBC! I spent most of the time tucked away asleep inside Kerry's jacket. Every now and then I'd poke my head out to check out the scene and meet new peeps.

I suspect that'll be the end of my trips up the mountain.
