Tuesday

There are 2 dams here and the power company run guided tours but, much to Martin's disappointment they don't start until 29 May. We could only visit the exhibition centre which is open all year round and we did get a view of the turbines.

For today's hike we parked in the valley the other side of the mountain from our apartment. It was an extremely steep and long hike up - we are probably only 1/3 up here;

At the top we came across a cafe but the gate was locked. I was desperate for a drink and, as we live by the mantra "don't ask don't get" I asked the owner if it was possible to get a drink and he agreed. So we enjoyed a refreshing drink whilst watching the antics of the animals in the petting zoo including a 4 day old goat.

Another rest on the way down; the bottom of zippered trousers make a great improvised hat!
