Two Girls... One World
Hello from Hanmer Springs! We've packed a lot into our two days here - we first visited the hot springs, where natural gases and minerals heat the water up... it was amazing being outside in any one of the ten (count em!) pools and having snowy mountains all around us and actually being hot!
Today we went snowboarding on the Hanmer ski area. After a scary drive up the mountain on the shuttle bus (think the tightest and steepest corners you've ever driven around and then add the fact theres a huge drop and lots of ice and snow, and that the turn has to be done in three parts... eeeek!) we got to the ski area. It's such a nice place - a tiny little ski resort, which is refreshing compared to the busy areas I've skiied in around Tignes and Les Arcs! We had a snowboard lesson and we were the only ones in it so got lots of tuition from Matty, our snowboarder dude! We were the only ones on the slopes as well, apart from an Ozzy family learning to ski!
Great fun...
pics soon
