Late start for myself (10:30). I am still not well. But getting there.
Sarah has been watching the rain this morning, she was a little disappointed with the weather as we wanted to walk around cradle mountain today. As I woke the sun came out so we had a banana for breakfast and headed to the mountain.
You buy a national park pass from the reception here and that allows you to either drive up to the walks or get a shuttle bus. We caught the shuttle bus up there. I am glad we did as the roads were one way most of the way.
The weather was holding out and seemed to be okay (still very fresh). Halfway up I went to record some video... Forgot the SD card for the camera. After thinking about having to head back down the mountain and then back up I though too bad, then I thought maybe we should share the SD card that Sarah was using. Worked perfectly.
We get to the top and we are ready for our walk. The walk we did was Dove Lakes Circuit, a 2 hour walk. That is 2 hours without stopping it seems.
Off we went stopping and taking pictures, taking video, constantly swapping the SD cards from camera to camera. The views were amazing and the weather was stunning. Check out the photo's and Video's. There was a constant battle between some groups, we would overtake, they would overtake then we all stopped at the same spot. Was a fun walk.
We got back and signed our names out of the registry just in time to get on the shuttle bus. By this time it was 14:51 and we both were starving. IT STARTED RAINING, POURING! We had walked the entire Cradle mountains walk without one drop of rain and here we are finished on the bus to come home and BAM! raining like crazy. We were so lucking and felt very happy about today's weather.
After getting back to the café where the shuttle bus drops you off, we had chicken wrap and coffee for myself and Thai pumpkin soup with hot chocolate for Sarah. Then we headed to 'Cradle Mountain Shop', this place looked like where me and my sister had our picture taken ages ago, probably not but we went there anyway.
Back to the Chateua where we are staying and we jumped into the photography gallery that they have on site. Amazing pictures in there. Nothing Sarah can not take though!! When we get back I will be getting a decent computer for her so she can work on her photography career. Probably a mac to go with her ipad, they have awesome screens.
We are now sitting in our room waiting for dinner time 19:00. Sarah is editing video on her iPad... I am on my laptop writing this journal. I'm wishing I had a better laptop so I can edit when traveling, I am thinking an Macbook air (i7 128SSD) be perfect for editing. If Sarah can edit on her iPad that would handle anything. I'll get one when we get back as there are no Apple stores in Tas :D
Over and out for today.
