Thursday September 4th…you’ve nearly made it…congrats!

On Thursday, Tina and I decided to take a ski lesson cause we both don’t know how to ski. It was a lot of fun. *gg* Actually, we weren’t too bad. I didn’t fall down and Tina only tried to go up the mountain once. *gg*
We met Kate on the mountain who was snowboarding. It was her third time on a snowboard so she was a lot better than us. =P She talked us into going up on tug lift…telling us that it took her 8 times before she didn’t fall off anymore. It wasn’t too bad either…I didn’t fall off. And we also managed the chair lifts without embarrassing falling down. =P
After the two hours lesson by a blonde German girl we stayed another two hours getting down the idiot’s hill (it’s the translation of the German word…we’re not very nice to people who can’t ski) by ourselves. Afterwards, my calves hurt. *lol* I can’t walk for shit in those boots.

We made our way to Turangi to an internet cafe so I could download the pictures for my uni crap that I finally got.
After an hour, we left there, going up the mountain on the other side this time to watch the sunset. We were slightly late but it was nice anyway. Tina had spotted a waterfall on the way up so we wanted to stop there on the way back. Which we did. Unfortunately, it was dark by now and neither of us had a torch. =P Was quite an experience…

Back home we washed all our stuff which took ages…in the meantime we talked and laughed a lot, being incredibly silly. When it was time to get the now dry laundry, I stepped on Tina’s laces from her boots and she nearly fell up the stairs. For some reason (because we already were really silly) we both had a laughing fit right there on the stairs. =P My stomach hurt afterwards…
Another fun part was that we had just put in all our washing and now discovered that we had put in the same stuff. Meaning from the same brand in the same size…another laughing fit while trying to find out which was which…we finally decided according to holes in it. =P
