Hello again,
it is two weeks since our last update, so I have alot to say.
On the weekend we had a ski trip and also a tour to Kaikoura, both on Saturday. It goes with out saying that they were both a huge success. Brett took the ski trip and it was a very nice day. Brett is learning to snowboard this season, and he is having just as much fun as the students he takes up there. Mt Hutt was good for skiing on Saturday, and we were again lucky as it was closed on Sunday.
Hamish took a group up to Kaikoura to go whale watching. It was a good day, and all the time we spent on the bus was well worth it once we saw our first whale. We had a really good mixture of students and all of them enjoyed the day. We were so excited about seeing 4 whales, and a pod of 500 dolphins that we took very few photos, it was one of those moments where you just want to look with your eyes.
The previous weekend we had trips skiing, as well as a tour to Mt Cook.
The trip to Mt Cook was particularly important as it was the first tour for our new guide Hamish. The tour was brilliant, it was a great group of people and the weather and scenery was spectacular. Some of us went swimming in the hot pools at Tekapo, very nice on a cold night :)
We saw Mt Cook, Lake Tekapo, Lake Pukakai, Tasman glacier, the clay cliffs, and brought fresh Salmon on the way home. What a very busy weekend we had.
Over the next few weeks we have more ski trips, a trip to Wellington, and another tour to Mt Cook. Things are getting very busy indeed as spring approaches.
Keep up the hard work, but dont forget to look at the world around you.
See you all soon
Hamish
