back in the day

If somebody had told me as a child that one day I would go hiking voluntarily, I would have probably thought of them as insane...

And I have to admit that just seeing the mountains on the horizons is generally enough to make me happy. 

After once more I had to admit that despite having lived here for almost 1.5 years, I have hardly seen any of the 'Alms' (the huts dotted around the mountains that serve lovely, hearty food - and as it turns out are mostly shut during winter), I was determined to change that immediately. Not least as I had also come to the conclusion that I should be using my free time much more extensively.

And to make that first step a little easier, I was lucky enough that C and her daughter (who slept throughout the hike - not bad to be pushed around a pram!) were able to join me at relative short notice. While it was cold, hiking up the hill warmed us up quickly and the sky was a beautiful blue and without a single cloud in sight. And we even got to see some snow.

This week has brought back the active 'me' and it is here to stay!

Pretty, or what?!
