Work was tough getting back into after our amazing holiday away, however, we didnt have long to wait until we got back to the fun. So at the weekend we headed down to the mountain with Gem & James, Andy & Em (friends of friends who have recently moved to Auckland), Gem (one of James' friends from home) and Helen (one of our friends from Hamilton) we arrived late on Friday evening and unfortunately Gem and the Auckland crew arrived later after their friends' car broke down 28 miles south of Auckland, after having only had it for 17hours - took them about 2 hours to get it back to theirs to pick up a different car. Anyway, they arrived around 1.30am and we all headed pretty much straight to bed.
The next morning we awoke to nice weather and headed straight up the mountain - unfortunately we had to turn around and head to the other side of the mountain after learning that it was closed for high winds. By the time we made it to the other side, the weather had closed in and it was raining with poor visibility. So, we decided to hire out some snow boards, book some lessons and have a laugh - which we definitely did. Although the conditions were horrendous, we had an amazing day and ALOT of fun. That afternoon we were joined by more friends of friends, had some apres ski drink before heading back to the bach for food, drinks and games.
On Sunday the conditions were horrendous again (which we knew they would be) so we had booked to go white water rafting in Turangi. A fantastic day and great rafting fun. Got pretty cold by the end but was all worth it.
All in all a fantastic weekend. Cant wait for the next.
