Skiing for old farts

the big boy lift with a big sign that said “NO BEGINNER RUNS FROM THIS LIFT”

Horsing around in Wanaka

Riding the horses you can see the very start of spring, up close the wild fruit trees have buds just 
waiting to burst into flower, the creeks are starting to swell and the wild rose bushes are budding.

We headed back to base, I found the amazing Akadio and advised her that I wanted to be skiing advanced runs upright within the hour.  She smiled politely and then I tripped over getting into the line for the lift…. 

Singing toilets in Wanaka

I duck into the public loo, one of those self cleaning metal cubes that make me slightly nervous that the door is going to open halfway through my business.  I press the open for button and am advised that I have 10 minutes to finish my business before the door opens…. then music starts playing.
