Howdy Everyone, so nice to log on and find some messages!!
Today was all about skiing, got up nice and early and made it up to the slopes before the crowds. Had a few runs on the beginner slope to get my 'ski legs' back, then decided to tackle a bigger run. It was advertised as a beginner run, but I can assure you it wasnt....damn near shat myself on the way down, thought I was going to go off the edge of the cliff and fall to my death...luckily I just fell over many times and got to the bottom a bit shaken. Straight back to the beginners slope where I was to be found all day, up and down, up and down....but practice makes perfect. By the end of the day I was pretty much doing parallel turns.
Were hoping to go up the slopes tomorrow, but the weather looks like it will be a bit crappy, so were getting up early to see what the forecast it and decide then, if not we will either have a lazy day in Wanaka, or drive the 250km to the Fox and Franz Josef glaciers.
After the success of today I think im going to head up to Metheven and Mt Hutt again once Mads and the van have gone next week. Then maybe a quick journey up the West Coast, walk the Abel Tasman and then up to Bay of Islands...ahhhhhhhhh so many things to do and so little time left (well 4 weeks!!)
Good to hear that England stuffed Wales, lets hope for the same again this saturday against the French!!
Hopefully get some photos up tomorrow (I know, I know...keep on saying!!) But finally found an internet place where I can upload them, so heres hoping.
Thanks again for all your messages..especially nice to hear from you Rob!, hope all is well at NCEC.
Speak to you all soon
