Camping

This time last week I was recuperating from a weekend of walking, rock climbing, smoke inhalation, freezing temperatures and sleeping on a wooden floor. No it wasn't all that bad. Despite being physically taxing the stunning scenery and great company made it all worth while.

Bright and early Saturday morning some of the older kids from school arrived one by one at our apartment where we divided up all the food and supplies in our backpacks. We then all jumped in a combi and drove about an hour and a half out of town up into the mountains. Once we stopped we realised that we had been dropped off at the wrong spot. This meant that the park rangers wanted to charge us more and we had a lot longer and harder walk in front of us. However the longer harder journey made for a greater sense of satisfaction when we finally got to our camping spot which was a bunch of old abandoned houses next to a gorgeous lake called Laguna Shallap.
