Christmas Morning

We missed being with our family at this time of the year.They all gathered at Allan and Corrina's place. Corrina cooked a beautiful ham and arranged other things.Michael, Bernie and Mark brought other stuff as well.
It was great to talk and see them all on Skype. A photo Allan sent to my phone looked like it was a beautiful Christmas breakfast. So it was time for me to wipe away a few tears and enjoy the rest of the day.




Even on Christmas day I have to give Santa support



This one is for the Grandchildren Caleb and Isabel

To Rosebery

Again the morning started off miserable and damp from the fog



A bit lower in altitude and it looks already a lot better like the fog is lifting



Werner is trying to race the truck up the hill



Lake Rosebery about 16 km before Rosebery and Mt Murchison in the back



Last climb for today. Was a hard work for the van, the steepest I have been so far. 4 km up and climbing from 175 m to 495 m



Bottom of Rosebery where I parked and did some last minute shopping



This is the outlook just behind the cabin we are in for 4 days

To Cradle Mountain

Rain gear for Werner today because it is terrible weather



Werner is climbing this big hill and just about made it to the top



The view from the top of this big hill which is 930 meters above sea level. The poor van was struggling a bit



Looking back up this hill. Werner reached 74 km/h coming down



Waiting for Werner at the turn off to Cradle Mountain



Long last he is turning up because of so many hills today and still more to come



We both made it to Dove Lake and Cradle Mountain. I cheated and had to take the free shuttle bus



Me on our 6 km walk around the lake



Poor Werner had to walk around too. If he would have swam across the lake as well he just about would have done a Triathlon today



It doesn't get much better than this
