Saturday - Gondola & Beer Fest

Saturday morning was time for another free ride - this time on the gondola. We traveled up to Level 3 where all the attractions are - not that we were interested in them - we just wanted to have a look and go for a walk.

The gondolas up to this level were all enclosed and Jo was fine with that:

At Level 3 there were chairlifts up to the higher slopes, but these were open, bench-style, and there was no way Jo was going up in them, so we settled for coffee:

We then headed down the Four o'Clock Trail back to the village. Most of it was a ski slope but it was a pleasant stroll downhill:

It didn't take long - it was only a mile or so downhill - so we thought we had plenty of time to travel back to Dillon, where there was a beer festival on in the afternoon. We jumped on the (free) bus to Frisco and stayed on it as it moved on to Silverdale and then Dillon.

It was a beautiful afternoon and the setting at the marina at Lake Dillon was splendid. We worked our way through the products of 16 different Colorado breweries (32 different beers) - but fear not, dear people - the glasses were only one-thirds of a pint, and they were mostly only half filled, so we didn't really drink all that much - honest. Here's Jo just after we left the festival to catch the bus home:

Is she happy? You bet!
