Day 14

Quite the day today.  The scenic train trip we had scheduled was indeed cancelled due to the impending cyclone.  We did manage to retrieve our rental car and were able to drive to Franz Josef, our next destination.

The weather all day was bad, really bad.  Rain and high winds.  I believe the storm was downgraded to a tropical storm, but it still had gusts up to 150 km/h.

We managed to reach our destination just before they closed the highway.  Very fortunate.  We've had power outages all evening, but it seems to be more stable now.

We have a heli-hike tour scheduled for tomorrow, but it's very likely that it will be cancelled.  The manager of our lodge says that all tours are cancelled until Saturday.

So, it was an inside evening doing laundry and watching Canada lose to China in curling.

We'll see what tomorrow brings.
