Hello everyone!

We did not have any internet for the last 2 days, except at some local cafe, which closed up quite early so we couldn't blog in the evening like we usually do.

Instead we'll blog about the last 2 days now:

We started out by getting a coffee and a tea at the local cafe where we uploaded the last set of pictures before heading off to the Wonderland Car Park. Why it's called Wonderland? I don't have a clue. We parked our campervan there and started our long hike towards the top of the mountain: The Pinnacle.

The brochures said it was a 3,6 km walk with about a 400 meter climb into the mountains. It would take the average person around 2,5 hours. Ignoring the difficulty sign (hard) we went up anyway, only to discover that it was actually further than the brochure had said.

Anyway, we started our walk with quite a fast pace but it was incredibly hot and we soon got exhausted. The average time up was 2,5 hours, so we figured it would be around 30 - 45 minutes to reach halfway up the mountain. This of course wasn't the case. After about 45 minutes or so we ran into some people on their way down which said we were nearly halfway. We were not pleased... But we continued anyway and at some point reached a sign saying it was only 700 meters more.

We went into a narrow passageway called Silent Street. This was the last part of the hike and someone at the top assured us it was only 5 more minutes. Being very thankful to this wonderful news we reached the Pinnacle where we took some pictures and ate the last half of apple pie that Henny gave us. Best meal ever! We had some drinks aswell before going back down.

This was considerably easier, so we decided to take the 'Grand Canyon' route as well. This had some incredible views as well, and we climbed a bit off route as well. We also spotted a droptail lizard on the path which we luckily got a picture of before it ran away.

After walking for a total of 3 hours we got back to the car park and drove back to our camp site. When we got really close we noticed a mob of kangaroos on the recreation area next to our camp site. We got out of the car and took some photos until we came too close and John told me to back off before I made the kangaroos mad.

The next morning we drove off immediately towards Kingston SE. We had checked the night before and it was a 5 hour drive but when we arrived only 3,5 hours had gone by. The sun was shining bright though, so we wanted to go swimming in the sea. Too bad though, there were no waves at all at Kingston, so we headed a bit more south to Robe.

Here we bought some bathers and then went to the camp site nearest to the beach. After uploading some of the photos we went to the actual beach itself and even went swimming in the (cold) sea. After some sunbathing we headed back to the campsite where the sun is slowly dissapearing behind the horizon. Tomorrow we'll go to the beach again before driving off to meet Bert!
