Skiing and Middle Earth

I have not put many news on the blog lately because I was fairly busy discovering the ski fields on the North and South Island.

Starting with Ruapehu and the Tongariro volcano that erupted shortly after our stay.

Last week we were on Mt Hutt where I hurt my should on the first day! Grrrrr.... so no more skiing but discovering Middle Earth.

We were in Edoras the capital of Rohan.

Kiwi-ana: Pavlova

Das ist eine echt süße Torte, bestehend aus Eischnee, Sahne und ein paar frischen Früchten obendrauf! Voll süß!

Skiing on an active volcano

Yep! That is New Zealand, the North Island ski fields are actually built on an active volcano.

Last weekend was perfect, blue sky and sunshine and Mt Tongariro spit ashes .... awesome!
