The past few weeks has been more of the same here in Ohakune. We're generally pretty busy Friday-Monday, then things get quieter midweek.
We had a nice day out at Whakapapa ski field at a tourism operators day. It started with a scenic chairlift ride up the mountain, then a free coffee and muffin and a talk about the facilities that are open through the summer. The secenery was pretty cool and it was good to see the difference between winter and summer.
The weather has been really hot, normally 20+ degrees during heat of the day which has been pretty good. We had a few days up in Matamata with Tracie last week which was cool too. We arrived on the Monday lunchtime, and had a wander around town which is loads bigger than Ohakune. We did a walk to a waterfall on the Tuesday, then I drove home on Wednesday for practice at my new rugby club, Ruapehu. Robyn caught the bus home on Friday, and has arranged with Tracie to go back for a full week and help out at Matamata Primary school which should be good.
