Day 32 - Awesome Day Snowboarding!

Perfect spot for writing and
drinking a cheeky vodka

Had the best day snowboarding today up Coronet Peak. Crazy to say as I've never really liked it up there, but today was fabulous! The weather last night was miserable and we were thinking we might not even get to go at all. But woke up this morning to clearing skies and the snow report at Coronet sounded the best with 7cm of new snow - so off we went. And it was great! Some of it was a bit wind blown, but we managed to find some awesome little pockets and gullies full of powder and had a blast! So exhausted now! Actually feel like we worked hard today, as opposed to the last few days of boarding where we've had a lovely time but it's been pretty cruisy with the kids.

We mostly played on the big six seater chair (I forget what it's called), and it would be incredible over there with more snow. Lots of fun and interesting terrain. The snow condition was great - just wish there was more of it.

Did a tiny bit of my workout when I got back - not much just a little triceps, and some stretching. My body is too tired from the boarding to do much more!

We're staying in an awesome place up on Fern Hill. Has the most lovely master bedroom with a huge spa bath - just had one and was so relaxing! Almost fell asleep! And now sitting in the comfiest chair with an amazing view over the lake. Perfect!

Was pretty good with my eating today. Bacon and eggs for breakfast, but not too much, and soup for lunch. Had a couple drinks though - one awesome apple and feijoa hot toddy at Haidi's Hut up on the hill, and then a glass of bubbles for lunch. Been pretty good really! Going to be interesting tonight as mum's friend who is planning on setting up a business down here in Queenstown is doing a "practice" on us. She's bringing over wine and matched food, and is going to take us on a journey around Otago. Should be pretty good. And all we need to do for it is to give her feedback and let her practice on us.

Last night we had Ferg Burger for dinner. Pretty tasty, though definitely not in the diet! At least made the right choice for lunch with a filled baguette instead of  pie!

So nice having our friends here. Sill have a baby around, but is a totally different vibe to being with the family. So lucky to be able to get both! Feels like a decent holiday already and we still have lots to go! Love it.

Taking a well deserved break at Heidi's Hut with my Hot Toddy. What a view!
