When your host goes hiking

I don’t remember the number of times I fell on my way down. Fortunately I wasn’t hurt. Note to self: get proper hiking shoes.

And at the summit, it rains without notice. And the views are spectacular from up there. This was my first high altitude hike. At the peak, we were at 3610m a.s.l. a total ascent of 1255m and 18km trek.

Have a restful Sunday everyone

When you have the itch to talk to a buffalo, call these numbers

Stairway to hell, I think

No, I didn’t go round the rim

Hell looks like this

the beautiful scenery

that’s how far I walked. I am tired and sleepy from it

those falls are from the clouds

Public service announcement

We interrupt transmission to bring you pictures of my hike today. The trail is the same, the distance the same but the exhaustion is different!

This couple didn’t want to be left out. I hope they will manage to get to the rim.

A section of the trail that has had to be improved following serious water erosion

There is a zebra in the background. They didn’t seem too happy to hear me pass by, and so all ran away

You can see the damage erosion is causing to this trail

I was hoping there could be some fossils following the great flood, you know which one, and there seems to be nothing to report home about

This is the summit of the small mountain.

Improved trail. If they could do it all the way, maybe we could just have our stairway to heaven, who knows 😀

The sun was still struggling to come through the clouds as I was going up

My day job and other stories

Views to the lake

I like the relationship between the cottages. This site is really steep

Yours truly was mountain climbing early in the morning
