New Zealand Ski Trip 2014 - Part 2

Day Three
On the first day skiing, we woke up early at 6am because we weren't sure how long it would take, but because the drive from Queenstown to Coronet Peak is only about 20minutes, we were able to wake up later at 7am on the next day.

New Zealand Ski Trip 2014 - Part 1

Hi all, it's been a while since I've updated but I really will try harder from now on. This series of posts is going to be all about my recent ski trip to Queenstown, New Zealand, with my family and Nicole :) I tried to take more photos but I did forget at times.. hope you enjoy!

I've been to New Zealand before, in 2012 during the summer holidays. We went on a road trip of the south island in a campervan, stopping at towns such as: Omaru, Te Anau, Dunedin, and Queenstown. This time, we flew in directly to Queenstown and stayed at the Copthorne Lakeside Hotel in Queenstown. We arrived on the 7th of July, skiing five days and resting one, before flying back home on the 13th.

Day One
We caught an early morning flight, leaving home at 6:15 as a middle ground between the 6am that mum wanted, and the 6:30 that dad wanted. I'm thankful we left then because there was an accident on the freeway which caused dad to take some back roads and we arrived later to the airport than we had planned. We then ran into problems with checking in the baggage which left us walking quickly to the gates as soon as we passed immigration to make it to the plane on time. We were, however, not the last group to board. :)
