Our second anniversary. And to carry on an annual tradition today was a day of re-visting the little black church and taking the second anniversary photos. En-route: On road 54 - over the mountain - we decided to pull in and take in the stunning views of the sea to the South of the peninsula. And there we stayed for two hours. What we didn't spot in the layby was the thick ice. And either side: at least two foot deep snow. I had discovered that the Kia Sportage AWD, with studded tyres slides,..really well - as I had somehow managed to bring the car to a stop in a ditch. And when Stu tried to drive it out he parked it further in the ditch. At a precarious angle. After an hour of trying to dig two feet of snow from around the driver's side wheels (no shovel in the car - so this was real manual labour) Stu tried again. And yep. You guessed it. The car slid deeper. So after a bit of bartering with a local tow truck man - we gave away our food money, the car was removed from the ditch and we continued on our journey. At five miles an hour...in the middle of the road. One point to note: The ONLY people to stop and offer help (before we rang tow truck man) was a local mum with three young children and a car full of female chinese tourists. GIRL POWER. Kind of. Anyway. After an eventful day it's back to the Cube for a much-needed cup of tea and anniversary dinner (tuna pasta!). Today's photos: Bloody self-explanatory
