Hope everyone had a fantastic Xmas! As you can see from our few photos we definately tried to get into the spirit of things. It's hard when you have to associate xmas with bbq's and beaches. We got invited to a xmas morning bbq at one of Ben's Ski patrol course tutors houses. We had bbq'd eggs and bacon and someone had even made some nice bagels(they are a rarety in NZ.) Had a few too many chamgpagnes and mingled with ALL of Wanaks's famous mountaineers. A bit intimidating. We decided to take off home and had a whole assortement of ideas for the rest of day. None of that happened. We both had a little snooze on the couch, the weather came in and it was rounds of "getaway." (our only board game...well used and compliments of Ben's folks.) We also went down to video ezy and rented some new releases and tried our hardest to find some egg nog. Well..I can say that there is definately no egg nog in NZ!! (Jeannie....our import export business just gained another item that NZ needs!)
So..big night tonight? Ben has the night off after working 12-14hr days for the last week with no sign of stoping in sight. After one of the chefs broke his wrist skateboarding down the crown range rd.(I'll get a photos.) Wanaka is our oyster tonight! Fireworks down at the lake, hooking up with some other orphans and maybe just maybe a drink or two. (Although...Wanaka is full of every single bogan and hoodlum in nZ right now....and I am not sure how many boy racers and drunk annoying youngsters I can handle.)
Hope everyone has a great New Year's! I'll let you know how our is.....
