Arrived the hill @ around 4am...no choice, we cannot sleep again...sunrise soon...kinda cold outside..temperature was just 11C...as we are jz prepared for summer clothing, impossible we could standing outside challenging the strong wind outside...running out from the car for photos (in 10minutes)...and rushing back to our warmest place (our car full with duvet & pillows...)

We are waiting....for the sunrise....unfortunely, due to heavy fog, we shall bring regrets back to Liverpool =( ....so, we will be visiting this place again whenever hav a chance....遗憾也没什么不好。。太完美了反而不会珍惜。。对吧?
