“But the beauty is in the walking - we are betrayed by destinations.” - Gwyn Thomas And walk we did! Along quiet roads, paths, goat trails, trails full of rocks, twisty trails, up hills and down hills. I’ve got over 27,000 steps so far and it’s only 5 pm! (Now it’s close to 9 pm and I’ve got well over 29,000). But, let’s start at the beginning. We lazed around our apartment this mo... Read Full Entry

Walking
Sounds like a lovely “walk”, Nice to hear about places that I’ve never heard about before.

Leisurely Hike and level path
This made me laugh as we've been on a few of those walks where they were unexpected. 29,000 steps... head to the thermal pools. Enjoy.

What a gem!
I love the experiences you are having on this trip. Sounds like such a lovely day of walking... but I did smirk at the words 'level' and 'goat path' in the same sentence! I try to assess such descriptions based on the fitness of the person saying it, but still get caught out :) Zigi is clearly quite fit :D

What a gem!
Yes, I will definitely re-evaluate the terms "level" and "goat path" in the future! That was the first time Zigi had taken a group on this particular hike, so I don't think he realized it was quite that challenging!

A "Leisurely Hike"
Gosh, that didn't seem too "leisurely" to me either! Well done both for completing it! I love the Gwyn Thomas quote. Sometimes when travelling I get distracted by the places I want to visit, rather than simply enjoying the travel itself - I shall remind myself of this quote in future. Indeed, I did wonder if you had adult beverages with your evening meal that evening - I was not wrong! 😊

A "Leisurely Hike"
Not too "leisurely" for sure, LOL! I seem to recall a few glasses of wine with dinner that night :)
