As promised, some more pictures and details of our snow trip last weekend...The weather forecast for the weekend was pretty ordinary - snow showers and icy southerlies on Saturday, cloudy on Sunday and strong westerlies by Monday. Because of that, we left after breakfast rather than before. By the time we got down to Taupo, there was no wind there, so we figured we may as well head up the mountain and see what it was like. Blue sky, not a breath of
wind. We ended up having lunch at Whakapapa Village before heading up - and then had a great time tobogganing and playing all afternoon, before getting back to the village to get into our cabin.
Sunday turned out to be perfect again, so we decided to head up
the chairlifts (the "sightseeing" option), which the kids loved - Joanna wanted to go, then didn't, but once she was on, loved it. Two year-olds. Anyway, by the time we got up to Knoll Ridge, it was almost lunch time, so we had lunch up there, before Joanna ended up falling asleep in Mel's lap. Ben, Naomi and I headed back down to make a snowman in the meantime. By the time Mel and Joanna were down, our snowman was done and it was tobogganing time again!
Monday was yet another perfect day (it's pretty rare to have 3 days in a row as good as that!), so we took advantage of it and did some more tobogganing, before heading home after lunch.
So much for that weather forecast...
