"Come on!... Save some for me, it's what I like... I wanna play, you know it's time... Something is calling, I can't keep from falling...Come on! It's on!" It's on!, Korn
Hey everybody! How are y'all doing? Hmmm, today I didnt really do anything special... so, I'm gonna talk about something we did during these two weeks (you know what I mean). But before that, I'll tell this for those that dont know, I'm studying in New Zealand... um, okay, the point is that it's winter down here.... that's all, LOL.
Okay, my parents and my friend arrive, we stayed two days here before actually leaving on the trip. We finally leave. First stop, a city called Taupo! Man, it was so cold there! Anyways... so, now to the main point... what would be a winter holiday without going snowboarding? Yep, that's right! We went to this ski station in the mountain! It was a 2 hour trip tho... We arrive there, the bus driver is like "the bus will be leaving at 4 pm, anyone not here will be left behind!" Oh, it was like 9 am when we arrived by the way.
We go and rent all the stuff and whatnot (boots, boards and all that). Me and my friend went for snowboards and my sister for skis. We finally get on the slope at like 9:45. It was my friend's first time (I'm talking about snowboarding there of course).
So, we (my friend and I) are boarding like crazy all day, we didnt even stop for lunch (hey, we only had until 3 pm, yeah, the bus leaving at 4 pm, we had to stop before hand). After a few wipe outs, my friend started to get the hang of it. Anyways, we had so much fun! Oh, and it was foggy too, we could hardly see any obstacles before actually running into them, LOL. At one point it started snowing pretty hard, some got in my jacket somehow... damn that was cold!
We just kept on going down and up the slope again and again... at one point we were having a snowball fight while going down the slope, that was fun! This went on until we finally got back and took the stuff we rented back.
It was 3:50 pm when we started waiting for the bus, outside in the cold. We stay there like 20 minutes and the bus still isnt there... then at about 4:20, there's this snowball fight that started between some ppl that were waitning for the bus too, we were just behind some of the ppl and some snowballs were coming at us! So we were like "shit!" and we (my friend, my dad and I) started throwing snowballs too! That was pretty fun, at least it was better than just standing there getting cold... it went on for like 20 minutes before the bus finally arrived... at like 4:45 or so. We were like "leaving at 4 pm huh?"
We get on the bus, my clothes were pretty wet so it was a two hour trip in a bus with wet clothes during winter... We arrive at the hotel we were staying at and we all took a hot shower (seperately of course, one person at a time).
That's it about the snow stuff, it was great! But, the day after, I was sore all over from all the falls, LOL.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed, I'll talk about more stuff tomorrow!
Well, see y'all!^_^
