The Rugby World Cup in 2011 was held in New Zealand. Todd Kulick, Steve Samorodin, and Bryan all flew in for two weeks of sightseeing and rugby matches. Here are Todd and Steve in the Auckland airport waiting for breakfast.

On a cold and rainy day we went for a hike on Mt. Taranaki. There was sleet coming down in the parking lot before our hike. Because of the weather conditions we were the only brave souls out for a hike.

There was snow at the side of the track. Snow in a rainforest, go figure.

Slippery snow on the track. The weather actually wasn't all that cold, but it was wet.

Bryan poses by some snowy rocks. The hike was actually kind of interesting because the weather conditions were so unique.
