Christchurch/ Mount Hutt














6th June

We had to say goodbye to sunny Queenstown, which was actually quite a sad moment and we headed back to Christchurch. Though luckily despite saying goodbye to quite a few people we still have quite a big group travelling together. Arrived in Christchurch and met some familiar faces- the welshies. We also all went together and had a cheap but very yummy chicken tikka, much better then the pasta I have for the next few nights.

7th June

We got up very very early 6.30am!! To go skiing in Mount Hutt, the weather was really rubbish in Christchurch but at Mt Hutt (1hr 30mins away) was really sunny with perfectly blue sky, yet again very lucky with the weather. I dont have any skiing clothes with me but I managed to make do by layering up and being the only one in the group to not fall over!! Though admittedly I took it more easily than the boys. We split into groups, 3 beginners who got a lesson (Dan, Laura and Neil) and then the pros (Me of course, Jack, James, Dom and the piste wrecker-george who was on a snowboard). The skiing was amazing, very different to europe as all the runs interlink and theres no trees. At the end of it i felt very jealous of George who is doing a ski season in Queenstown :(
