Wednesday 23 December

It's a better night. And the power is still on! There is a thick white frost, Malcolm wonders if it's snow at first. We go down for breakfast. It's a total vegetarian and alcohol free establishment. The owner told us last night that many ppl don't appreciate this! Well, it is on the booking sites. And town and meat are a short walk. It's pretty clear so we head up the hill to get more views. On the way back we see little coloured birds: black and white, yellow, and orangey red ones. They are like little Christmas tree decorations! Back in our room Malcolm talks me out of washing my hair as I'll be probably wearing a hat most of the time. We go sit on the roof in the sun. Malcolm catches up on his blog and I try and work things out on the tablet. We FaceTime Heidi and Anthony and have a nice chat. It's not long till the sun is off the roof and it's cold and we move back inside. The power comes on so we have some instant noodles. We order dinner but it's not as good as the night before. There is a nice movie on TV we watch as we prepare for bed. We plan to get up early to walk to the tower for sunrise.
