Mountain top

It's been quite some time now, since I had a good memorable journey to tell about.

I remember this time, a few years ago, when I went to a friend of mine's summer house, and we decided to go mountain climbing. We were not well prepared, to be honest. With us, we only had a backpack with our lunch, nothing else.

All the four of us headed down to the trail on which the journey would begin. We were slightly nervous, but no fear could stop us from reaching the mountain peak.

Soon after the journey began, we realized that the trail was long gone, and we had to mind our steps very carefully. The mountain edge was very steep, and we only had some vegetation to grab on. Most of us were feeling as if we were about to fall, but we managed to get to the top.

It was a very rewarding experience overall. We had the chance to observe the gorgeous landscape, and to feel the adrenaline rush while we were climbing.
