Today was an official rest day

We did nothing. Just as well considering Mount Hutt was closed today due to high winds. We took all our skiing gear back today so no more snow for us. I would’ve liked to have gone up one more time to play in the snow but it’s meant to rain tomorrow and I can’t imagine being in the snow when it’s raining would be too much fun. Plus I imagine the drive up the mountain would be horrible in the wet. Still, I got to make a snow angel and have a snow fight so it’s all good.

Air New Zealand has terrible food

Right now I’m in Methven, New Zealand. When we look out our living room window, there a spectacular view of Mt Hutt.

Uh.. yes. The “meal” we had on the plane was horrendous. It was allegedly a beef salad but all it had going for it was the meat actually came from a cow. Eugh. Totally disgusting. The carrot cake was good though.

Anyhoo… I’m in New Zealand.

We went jet-boating today and it was totally awesome. So much fun and the gorge we were in was so beautiful. Tomorrow is skiing, which has me slightly worried as I’ve never been skiing before and full expect to spend most of my time sitting in the snow. But at least it means whatever I fall over onto will be immediately iced.

The place we’re staying at has a horrible internet connection which just makes me angry so perhaps it’s time to go to bed.

And before I go: happy father’s day dad!!
