12th June 2011 Mt Hotham with Pat

And once again we are off to Mount Hotham...which we are sure we will see snow...so snow chains in boot which are compulsory now the snow season is open..once again off we go...


And not to disappoint us it wasn't long before we were seeing the beautiful views of the snow capped mountains...

 As you can see in this picture the road that winds through the mountain to the village we have to travel on....


It was so cold when we got out of the car your fingers just froze against the wind...


I never get tired of looking at the wonderful views no matter how cold it gets ...the snow falls and its untouched and its just beautiful....

As we get close to the village the roads just wind around and around the mountain you can see for miles the road ahead...


The higher we get the deeper the snow on the sides of the road...

Once at the village it was very busy with people everywhere skiing and on the snow chairs and tobogganing...

It started to snow while we were there... it was awesome....guess that's why they need the big machinery...

It was just great here we didn't want to head home... 

This is the same spot Mychele stood in when we brought them up here only 14 days ago and it had no snow at all...

We decided to head back and have a late lunch and introduce Pat to our favourite cafe at Harrietville..

Driving back was even more amazing....its sad to say but the photos do not do any of it justice...

We had a beautiful lunch at the cafe of homemade pumpkin soup...oh boy it was YUM and just what the doctor ordered to warm us back up...


We had a great day !!!!
