So....

Managed to get my land-away done on thursday to rotorua, which was my last dual navigation flight before the PPL - good stuff! I also managed to get the solo nav to rotorua done on friday which I had been waiting to do for a while, and took the opportunity to take a pic or two:

Lake Taupo early in the morning:

Enroute Rotorua from Lake Taupo:

Heading back to Hamilton from Rotorua (look at the difference in the weather!!! Bloody Hamilton!)

Currently I'm scheduled for my long (~300-350 nautical mile) CPL qualifier tomorrow (sunday) and on one of the new cessna's too. This bit of luck combined with the forecast for good weather has me somewhat suspicious however, we can but hope! Expect a few nice pics should I a) go in the first place, b) not end up in Australia, and c) make it back at all.
