  1. Following a chilly overnighter in a cosy cabin in Ohakune, we had breakfast before heading up to Turoa to watch other people play in the snow. After a coffee back in town, we travelled along SH4, shadowing the Mangawhero River, south to W(h)anganui.

    After lunch, we had a good wander around and enjoyed just some of the art-focused stuff based in the city. These included:

    the boring gallery (all lowercase) - a local art collective showcase space.

    Quartz, Museum of Studio Ceramics - an unparalleled collection of ceramic works collated and curated by studio owner and renowned NZ potter Rick Rudd, who kindly showed us around and answered our questions.

    NZ Glassworks - not only as gallery but a working glassworks where you can watch the artist in residence and interns blowing their latest pieces.

    Katie Brown - longtime NZ glassblower with her own gallery shocasing her piece and those of artists in other mediums.

    An honorable mention has to go to Frosty Moons - a lovely place selling some very tasty desserts and ice creams. We're now looking forward to Taco Tuesday at Porridge Watson later.

    *UPDATE*: Fatties Street Food's*** ***Taco Tuesday 'pop-up' at the lovely and quirky Porridge Watson was great and great value - best tacos we have had in some time washed down with a local brew or two.
