Zajamniki Hike

Today we got up and headed to the mountains for an easy hike to a plateau with some shepherds huts like the first hike we did. This one was mostly through the forest with occasional views of the mountains and just a small road of the huts. It was nice, but the other one was nicer. It was really beautiful taking a break overlooking all of them and the mountains in the background (and we could see where we are camping! In the panorama just in front of the mountains in the back - the dark with a little bit of light grey on top - if you zoom in in the middle it is hard to tell but there is a lake there where the green mountains come down from the right right where they hit the green round mountain and that is where we are camped!).

It was a nice easy walk and I was glad we were not doing something longer/harder as it got so hot so quickly! Also glad we got there early as we only had to park a little bit down the road from the start of the trail, but when we left the cars were lining the road for a long ways! It is a very popular spot!

After our hike we headed to camp which is right on the lake with gorgeous views! But our camp spot is super sloped and it took us forever to get the van situated good enough that I think I will be able to sleep (it was so tilted we could not level it with the things we put under the tired to help with that and if it is too tilted then we are rolling into each other all night. Plus just standing or sitting in that super tilted is no fun).

After we got situated we spied around camp and then tried to go for a swim…but the water was ice cubes! I did ducked in twice, super quick, but phew it was cold! I don’t know how people were swimming in it!!

We ate dinner here at camp - pizza with chickpea cream, tomatoes, basil, rucola, cashew nut topping and oregano. And a salad with greens, chickpeas, tomatoes, carrots, cabbage and dressing. Both were pretty good and the view was great :) we stayed long enough to watch sunset from there then spied on the beach again and then back to the van to relax. It has been so hot recently during the day, but once the sun goes down (or starts to) it cools off so quickly! The sun has only been down for a half hour now and I have all my layers on. That is really nice since it means it will be cool for sleeping which is great! Tomorrow it is supposed to be another hot day and then it is supposed to be pretty chilly the rest of the time. The humidity hasn’t been bad during the day since it finally went away which has been wonderful (I was really really struggling with that), though it still gets pretty humid in the evening/at night, but that manageable.Baca selengkapnya
