IMG_7277 by twomotokiwis, on FlickrThe funny thing was we had riot gear for wind and freezing conditions …..a waste of time carting it up for our one out of the box day, very unusual to have such calm weather here so we made the absolute most of it spending nearly 2 hours taking in the stage of beauty in front of us.
IMG_7287 by twomotokiwis, on FlickrThe part that I hate, the return down hill section with the first km being a killer drop it was not promising to be good for me so we took it quietly until we hit the more level ground to preserve my poor old knees.
All in all an outstanding day of epic rewards in the scenery category and two very happy campers.

IMG_7312 by twomotokiwis, on FlickrThat night Paul from Holland arrived on a 1990 Tenere 600, he had a stator issue but we could not help unfortunately, we chatted for a while and he ended up camping with us too.
More wine, good times.
