So I’m achy, sun burnt and blistered but we made it through.
And on the last day, I wore a t shirt saying:
“Sometimes if you want to see the rainbow you have to put up with the rain”
And I felt it was quite a fitting t-shirt, well it fit just fine literally, but also metaphorically.
Let me elaborate: we stumbled with our rucksacks and leaking camelbaks up supposed “hills” (although I could refer to them as many other hideous things) in the sun that melted the only thing keeping me going, my chocolate. Beyond asthma attacks and a healthy amount of bitching our hiking boot got us to the top.
But when we got to the top, oh was it satisfying. And the views were tremendous.
