Sunday 16th November 2014……A Big Hike!!!!

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..

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!!!!
