Quiet enough to see and hear everything and a chance to stop and photograph stuff, or just enjoy it all on the bike!<br /><br />Deliverance...as if!!

I would immediately do it all over again... not that I could with being 13,000km away and all but one can dream ;-) Mt Taranaki is the most impressive volcano I have ever seen.
