People come here during winter to ski. …

We did however get jammed between a couple of rocks after attempting to ride ...

The journey was smooth, although there wasn't much legroom and Rosie banished me to a spare seat so she could spread out.
Wellington was very wet and windy, but had a very pleasant vibe to it. It was strange ...
