Ascent to Mount Perspiring

aka Mount Aspiring

OK – it isn’t really called Mount Perspiring – it is Mount Aspiring and we walked 775m to view its summit today.  Total distance covered in today’s walk was 15kms and we felt it at the end of the walk `as it was very steep in places.  This walk gets a “hard” category in the walking trails booklet – we saw what they meant!

The views at the top were awesome though and worth the climb.

We ate an early dinner at Relishes Café.  They serve seasonal local produce and have a contemporary twist to their menu.  We enjoyed our meal here before walking the 45 minutes back to our chalet – it would have been nicer to have been closer to town tonight!
