Cairns

Off the chair lift our first mini trek was up the small hill just to the left of Katarina's head in this photo. There's a mileage marker pointing to various European cities, but not London, and a bell that each visitor rings - we didn't. Unfortunately the clouds were still present chopping off the mountain peaks but we could see some clearer skies on the way so we sat and waited at another small hill next to these stone cairns left by other hikers. We had a go but it seemed like too much trouble to find the right ones. There are many other peaks around with paths but we didn't have the energy and, in any case, we needed to leave time to make the bus ride to Lake Bled, the stop on the day's itinerary.
