On Tuesday morning we decided to go to a different ski area near Queenstown; The Remarkables. The access road was very steep with many switchback turns but Jamie drive it brilliantly. Chanel and I booked another lesson this time with an instructor called Lewis. He took Chanel on a blue run and she was even better than yesterday. After our lesson she went to ski with David and they had a great time. Meanwhile James, Jamie and Aisling gave me a tour of the very attractive ski area. I was quite happy with my skiing and the snow quality was really good. It was a splendid day.
And it was not over yet! Our next destination was the Onsen Hot Pools, a treat which Aisling had booked. What fun! Each private hot tub was for up to four people so Aisling had booked two. Each hot tub was in a spacious three sided room, lit by candles, and one side was open to the mountains. The views were wonderful. We divided ourselves into a boy group and a girl group, although we swapped around later! We were also given drinks and snacks. The water in the hot tub was lovely and hot and we immersed ourselves in the water and chatted and took in the views as the sun set and the light faded. It was absolute bliss.
