I queued for over an hour, which is longer than the bloody train ride itself… Anyhow, got a ticket for 11am.

However, just as Kelly was about to take the photo, unbeknownst to Creighton, the sheep had moved on. Lesson: Step one in sheep-petting is to ensure aforementioned sheep is present. Our hike first took us to a pool at the base of a waterfall. The guide informed us that we could jump into the, at the ...
