So the blurb was wrong… however this time it was wrong in a good way. This place was by far the most beautiful natural scenery i have seen so far. Stunning. We started at the base of the mountains, apparently it was 7km to the top and at its highest it was 1894m above sea level (which i think is slightly smaller than kosiusko, i could be wrong ill have to google it) anyway if you decide to visit this place be warned, the climb up is very tiring and long. by the time i got to the top i was soaked in sweat, there is a cable car but i decided to get fit it was well worth it, and once you get to the top the view is nothing short of breathtaking. The tops of mountains breaking through the low clouds making you feel as though you were somewhere in heaven. Spent the rest of the day walking around looking at various mountain areas before decending, youll have to check out the photos to really appreciate how amazing this place truly was. By the time i arrved at the bottom, most of the rest of the group were already back down, having caught the cable car. My legs were like jelly and they couldnt stop shaking once i had stopped. Once we got back to the hotel i indulged in a bath, my muscles where aching and it was just what the doctor ordered, as well as watching fletch lives for the 12th time TOnight we were going to have our end of tour party as the last night was going to be spent on the all night sleeper train. It was never going to be a big one as we were all utterly stuffed. i was in bed by 10.30
