Whakapapa

But the bad weather returned and I had to spend the first day in Whakapapa - pronounced Fukapapa hahahaha hidden in my hotel due to gales and rain. I only managed to escape once to catch lunch with Zuzzi & Andrew who had been trapped like this for 3 days! Eventually on Thursday (the final day of Marcus' exam I managed to get on the mountain, but you can see the weather is a bit dodgy. Mind you the excitment of skiing on a volcano that erupted only 3 weeks ago was awesome, I kept an eye on the top to make sure there was no smoke!
