Best!

I finally experienced my first snow ever. I was up in Cradle Mountain on a road trip with 7 other friends here. We drove up to Launceston, which took about 4 hours ++ and it was raining, not forgetting miserably cold out there.

We got to Sheffield, the so-called Town of Murals (but i didn't really see a lot of murals) to Tazmazia, the world's largest maze and paid $16 to get lost inside. Oh yea.... did I mention Vimalan was also part of the group? Hehehe.... (in case you dunno who's Vimalan, he's a fellow friend from St Thomas). It was great being in there, getting lost and it's quite scary as well coz the place was really big and the hedges were tall (REALLY tall). There were quite a number of dark areas around, so the guys would love to hide behind these places and pounce on the girls. Imagine the screams.... hahaha! I'm one of the people who pounced on them... :)

Cradle Mountain was cold. And snow.... wasn't like what i had imagine. You do get excited when you see white fluffy stuff falling from the sky but beware, it's messy. It melts rather quickly, especially when you run inside the cabin where it's warm. Everything just turns into water and you'll have puddles of water everything.

Cold & soaking wet...

My legs almost broke then as well as we went hiking around Lake St. Clair which is surrounded by picturesque views of Cradle Mountain. It's really like something out of Chronicles of Narnia or LOTR. No joke dudes~ Not bluffing either....I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Oh ye... back to hiking story. We hike for about 3 hours before we reached the checkpoint and by then, my fingers feel like falling off from the cold. We are to be blame as well la coz we were having a massive snow fight without waterproof gloves. So... you get the picture.

Sorry~ can't upload the pictures now as my internet in the room expired so i'll leave it til next time.

Bye bye~
