Wow!! I saw a documentary on this squid on NGO a while ago. I was so amazed at how huge it really is.
It's decaying though, quite nasty stuff. If you're ever in New Zealand, go check it out.

All Smile's

Snowboarding

Nico, sliding down the mountain casually.

He looks quite at home on that board.

I was on the ski lift by the way.

Looks like a painting

Me !!!

In this picture, you may notice that I am having a chat with my skiis.

And I finally got both of them on and went on my way.

I fell a few times.

Snow Machine's ???

I didn't imagine these would be needed on a mountain...

Until I saw a few people smack into a rock that was sticking out of the ground.

Up 'n up we go..

Snow white

Nico ready and kitted up for a day in the snow.

This is Happy Valley Ski Area at the lowerest part of the mountain.

Entrance to Mount Ruapehu Ski Field

(S)kiwi Bird

Hahahahaha. We took this photo on our way to the lodge at Mt Ruapehu.

Really funny.

The Bridge

I really like the look of this bridge. I made Nico stop so I could take this pic.

I wouldn't want to be hanging off there though.

Piriaka Lookout

Spookers

This was the funniest evening ever!!! Dewald was hysterical. He screamed loudly,

He laughed with fear and almost cried and then he screamed even louder.

The ghouls chased him around because he was such an easy target.
