Queen's Birthday Weekend

Day One

The view that greeted us on waking (we had no idea it would be so magnificent when we'd arrived the previous evening in the dark to temperatures below zero degrees Celsius):

The view from our bedroom window (the balcony was a perfect spot to read my Bible):

Our cosy little retreat (and even this girl with Aussie blood found it cosy):



We never got tired of looking at the view:



A Saturday afternoon stroll:









Day Two
Same window and balcony as for Day One but the view looks totally different:



A walk in the bush and the rain:


It was too much for some:



But what a weekend!

Wow, cool photos. Looks like it was a great place to stay. Wish we could have been there too. Although, perhaps that would have made it a little bit too cosy!

Hey DIL#2, it would have been perfect if you'd been able to come too. And it just would've added to the cosiness. Perhaps next time? However, it wasn't always cosy. On the second night the wind picked up and was so strong that the door to the balcony off our room blew open 4 times despite being locked! Brrr! Have just dropped Son#4 off and on the way home noticed that some roads up that way are now closed due to snow. Glad we're not up there now!

Kati, it was an incredibly beautiful place. I can't show all the photos but hopefully the ones I can share give a taste of what it was like.
