Yay. Made it to the top (Photo: Steve) |
We got up around 8am to leave for Snow Ditte. AND I DID IT!
Took us about 2 hours to get up and 1 hour to get back down. It wasn’t anywhere
as difficult and scary as I thought it would be. We had an awesome view from
the top (even spotted Rothera in the distance) and some refreshments. However,
we soon had to leave as there was a slight very chilly breeze on the top. When
we stopped on the way down, I nearly forgot my ice-axe (we had to go a short
bit back up – whoopsie). Just for your information, Snow Ditte is 1309m high.
We had a lazy afternoon after getting back to the tent with Ministerone,
Sudoku, knitting (yes, part of

Lazy time! |
my cardigan which is still not finished, has
been knitted in a tent in Antarctica) and my music (poor Steve, most of it was
in German ...). Only downside was, that the battery of my kindle was empty, but
hejho – survived that as well. The evening was just as lazy with port and wine.
For dinner we had
quite a creation: rice, tuna, sweet paprika, cashews and some
kind of sauce. For dessert we had some of the cakes which I had made (for the
Germans: Amerikaner).
I nearly forgot to mention that we discovered that it is
indeed possible to freeze red wine. The bottles which were on the side of the
tent popped open (the cork came out) and the wine was frozen solid. So wine
must freeze somewhere around -20 degrees...
Tomorrow, it is home time already :( Might need a holiday after
this holiday ;)

And that is where we went up, up to the right of the rocks, over the hump to the peak. |
