September 23rd: 24 hours left Till we Leave


(today, my mouth is doing even better and I feel like I'm doing much better with each day).
We have 24 hours left till we are boarding a plane for Melbourne. I’m very excited to leave and trying to get all my ducks in a row. Anthony thankfully brought me a winter jacket for the mountain climb so I don’t freeze my butt off. I’m very excited because our trip is very nature focused. We are in two different cities, one a major international city, but not for very long. Our hotel for the mountain is IN the mountain which will be beautiful, cold and very convenient. I’m looking forward to seeing other parts of this country and Antony is looking forward to returning to Cradle Mountain and hiking it to the very top this time. We are both looking forward to this trip :) I won’t be able to update the blog while there but I will return with awesome photos!
This is the mountain

 Sydney is marked as the higher red dot and Melbourne is the lower red dot, it will take a little over an hour to fly there
 this is a closer view of tasmania. we are flying into launceston and the other red dot on the left is approximately where cradle mountain is located.
