Skiing in July!

Thursday
Breakfast by the fire in the Cyprus Tree Restaurant. Oh and we took another photo!

Minibus collected us at 10.30 for a normal 30 mins journey to Mt. Ruapehu-‘opening to a new world’ which took three times as long due to weather conditions and age of vehicle. Missed our 12.00 lesson but got one at 1.00. Lasted two hours and very enjoyable, although the weather conditions were blizzard-like. (minus two degrees). Unusual to think that we are skiing in July (and in NZ). There should be a law against little kids whizzing around on their skis making it all look easy. Felt like tripping them up more than once. There were a lot of them around as these are school holidays.
The resort was just that, a skiing station that was all inclusive. The place was too barren and high up for a village. But it was great to be able to get everything that we needed in one spot and not to have to walk too far in those boots.
