Well, wall lickers.. Now this was my favourite bit of the adventure. We quickly hit the road after a coffee with plans to make brekky on the road. This is a great plan overall, we find a place in the bush which is apparently in the hunting zone, so luckily this is after we finished cooking, but we did have to eat on the road, but it was a side road, so no issues there. Either was it’s a good break for everyone.
Now the whole point of today is the Slanic salt mine, now this place is well known, its Instagram famous, its looks somewhat busy in the photos, and normally for stuff like this we try to be inline at 8am for opening. But we run the risk of arriving to a basically empty place at 11. Perfect. We park up, hop on a bus and head down the decline, around and around and around. We arrive at the gates, nothing is looking to impressive. Asareh has not seen photos of this place even, so over all she is not impressed, I am basically vibrating off my seat. This is just photos, so enjoy.
You walk though the portal into a massive hall, over 200m long, 54m high. Walls made of, you guessed it, salt. This is pretty much a look at these phots type setup, you have to see it yourself to understand the immense size.
We spent 3 hours here, and it was worth it, as anyone that knows me, knows that I have a cough.. ongoing. Its shit. Down there, not once. The air is magical. And there is a ping pong table!! We have a few games, buy some salt to talk home and motor on to camp.
Camp is a luck out, we have a river the wraps around camp, now I will say it is still somehow freezing out, so we definitely require a fire to stay warm, but overall its okay. Dinner was Asarehs famous Saffron chicken. And we stay up enjoying a few drinks while Pina enjoys playing the in the tent fly on Suzies tent. We only has a small amount of rain.
