Hello! It is Day 4 in New Zealand, and gale force winds and heavy rain/weather have convinced us to stay in Wanaka and relax! We had a great flight into Queenstown -- one of the most beautiful landings I have ever seen -- you feel like you can reach out and touch the mountains -- especially since the plane needs to drop quickly into the valley before running into more mountains.
Saturday we just puttered around Queenstown and drove up to Wanaka. Sunday we spent the day at Cardrona, which had received 15cm of fresh snow on Saturday night, so we had some great fun. Yesterday was Treble Cone, which was good, but tough as the snow was quite carved up and heavy, so it was tough on the legs.
We've been getting up at 6:30am most mornings, so needless to say after a full day of skiing, we're asleep by 9pm! Haven't really done much about night life!
Tomorrow will be more boarding -- hopefully there will be more snow tonight and if so, we'll head to Treble Cone. If not, Cardrona!
For some reason my laptop isn't working and this is from an internet cafe in Wanaka, so there won't be pictures until the weekend. Sorry!
