Up at 7am and down to the gas station by 8am where the hiking group meets….Pierre was there and also my Tennis buddy Gregg and the three of us took off on our own hike whilst the rest of the group did a shorter hike..we drove about 25 minutes to a small village in the campo and parked and then we were on the trail by 8.30am…this is the first peak we were heading for
The first hour was continually up hill but the scenery was wonderful….
Looking back at the village where we left the car..
The first look out and Gregg taking it all in…
Myself in a more pensive mood……
We continued on but the scenery changed to dense forests and some lovely flowers…
After about three hours we arrived at out destination the rim of the old volcanic crater where we stayed for lunch!!!
Do not know what these vultures were waiting for!!!
Almost back down
A Sunday hike would not be complete without an animal shot!!!!
Healthy looking animals!!!
A wonderful 6 hour hike and at the high point we were at 9000 feet!!!!
I came home and had geared my day around watching the repeat of the tennis final from London which was live at noon but being relayed at 6 o clock tonight……so armed myself with refreshments and an the couch turned on the TV and that is when I found out the game was not played as Roger Federer had to pull out with a back injury what a shame!!!!
So off to the bath tub!!!! Blessings….
Yashi Kochi!!!!
