It's just not real...

Picture
The cable car took us to the beginning of the top and then we hiked, yes, hiked, yes again, as high as we could go. It was a civilized hike; no rock cliffs or steep, yet compelling ancient, rugged, stairs.  Instead we walked along dirt roads and paths similar to those owned by a goat. As you will notice in the pictures below, I surprised Britt with my Canadian hiking gear outfit which was luckily gifted to me as a birthday gift by Donna, Sally and Josie. ~ a really special thanks for that!~

It is a different type of countryside; the highest mountain meadow in Europe; so the marketing material reads. We walked through lush greens while looking at rugged, magnificent, highly reflective rock. It was a really pleasant and beautiful hike.

It is now 4:45 in the afternoon.  Britt is napping. In a few minutes we will head into a different town in search of a sweater.  It is not any warmer today in this town.

Nice outfit!! Can't wait to hear the tales and I want an exact count of the photos taken. Looks like the trip of a lifetime!

I'm not sure if the hiking outfit helps Canadians travelling in Europe or puts us all at greater risk of someone throwing you off the mountain!
Does Britt walk near you? Enjoy kids!
