the original plan for today was to do a day hike called the 'tongariro crosing', basically up and across the three mountains on the piccy. so we were up at 5.30 ready the pick up at 6, but when we got to reception we were told that it was cancelled due to heavy snow and strong winds! we couldn't really go back to bed after that coz we were already up and didn't want to disturb the guys in our room again. so we went off on another walk, but didn't last very long due to the near baltic temperatures! so then spent most of the morning wandering around the shops and buying a new bag for our souvenirs!

then in the afternoon went mini golfing! which was fun! lucy was spectacular! both hitting the ball way over the fence onto the road (luckily no passing cars) and into a bush! a small boy also decided to steal her ball at one point! although we both appeared to equally amazing
(or pathetic) as we scored the exact same (61 - move over tiger)!

goodtimes!
