Sunday 25th March - Wednesday 28th March 2012 - Arthurs Lake

Our friends Lewie and Loretta kindly offered us the use of Lewie's Dad's cabin at Arthurs Lake. We decided that we needed a break from the cold so after a few messages we got onto Geoff and collected the keys. We got there and Ed had to go under the house and pretend to be a plumber as all the pipes had come apart due to the cold. Apparently they had snow there the weekend before we got there. After the pipes were sorted out we got the fires going and we were nice and toasty. I even cooked dinners on the wood stove and we kept it alight so that we could have nice warm showers. Ed tried several methods for fishing and was finally successful catching a 36cm trout. It was very tasty!

It was nice to read, play board games and cards with the kids in-between multiple fishing expeditions. It was very nice not to have to wear all out warm clothes and beanies to bed to keep warm. The fires in the cabin kept it very warm. When we drop the keys back some red wine will be left with Geoff as thanks for our time there.
