Day 4: Cameron Lewis

This morning after setting 3 alarms we eventually crawled out of bed and went to breakfast.  After breakfast we got on the bus and set off for the mythical dwarf cliffs, we claimed the rocks there and were told the stories of the invisible dwarves.

We were there for about 20 minutes before leaving, we drove for about 40 minutes in the middle of nowhere before stopping to take in the stunning scenery which consisted of the snouts of three glaciers! We left and carried on for about 5 minutes before pulling in to a national park. We went on a walk which lasted forever and seemed to be all up hill. I started to doubt what we were even getting anywhere but when we got to the top it was definitely worth it. You could see for miles over the glacier and it was probably the best view I have ever seen!!

When we got back to the visitors centre we had lunch and bought things from the shop (mainly chocolate)  before setting off once again. This time we headed for an ice lagoon at the bottom of a glacier. We got on a boat and went off into the lagoon it was interesting to see all the icebergs and we even saw one flip over! When we finished there we crossed over the nearby road to a black sand beach which had icebergs beached all around. We all climbed all over them and started playing in the waves. Most of us got soaked and we had to leave our boots in the boot of the bus.

Today was a great day and we are looking forward to seeing the northern lights tonight.
