We drove over from Napier to Mt Ruapehu. on morning of 10th.
J wanted to see the ski fields on the mountain and possibly try skiing. Unfortunately when we got there the ski fields were closed. There was a southerly gale blowing. We drove up the mountain as far as we could but when we got out of the car could hardly stand up in the strong wind. First snow we had been close to in a long time! Better luck next time.
We stayed overnight in Ohakune ('carrot town' because home of NZ carrots) and drove back to Napier through Taupo on 11th.
