North Carolina 4: trip to the mountains

Before leaving North Carolina, we took a trip with Daniel to Homer's holiday house in the mountains to the east.

What a beautiful place! Just like Kathy's house, the surroundings were green and dense with trees, but here the trees parted to reveal stunning mountain views, and here we barely encountered another soul.

Daniel insisted that we must try disc-golf, which is (as the name suggests) basically golf with frisbees. Sounds dumb! It's not! In fact it's a really nice way to combine gentle sport with a nice walk around nature. The course we went to was particularly beautiful, with the individual holes taking us between trees, into valleys and up hills. Reka and I had a lot of fun, though we both suck at it (Reka: excuse me?)

Other than disc golf, and wandering around the pristine surroundings, we enjoyed lazing around the holiday house, eating altogether too many snacks and watching bad TV. Good memories were made!
