Before this Sunday ends...

It's past 11 PM as I write this post. And Sunday on this side of the planet will end soon. But before it ends, I would like to make a post about our last Sunday hiking and trekking. I am always behind when it comes to posting discussions here. Seems like no time in the world is enough to stay updated with everything happening at myLot. Well, things went as per plan, at least most of it. We started all prepared at 4 in the morning and reached to the destination at 5. My husband and younger daughter went ahead with hiking till the top of the hill and that was seven kilometres one way. So, they did fourteen kilometres both ways and could go and see the beautiful temple on the top. I saw few people opting for a trekking trail alongside the steep hill. There were few locals and few trekking enthusiasts there trekking. My niece and I chose to go for this path instead of hiking to the top of the hill. I felt a bit tired ( my monthly visitor was expected any moment) and also my knees were not willing for any tough exercises after a week full of long cycling trips and all walking and swimming. I wanted to go a bit slow. My niece, unlike my daughters is not into physical outdoor activities. She has recently started doing a few things with us after she started living with us. So, she also chose to go for simple path than the hills..Her stamina is still not upto mark to climb up a hill. So, we two chose to walk along this beautiful trail enjoying nature at our slow pace. It was so soothing and relaxing. We didn't go too far with our slow speed . When my husband called that they are heading back from top, we also took a U turn to meet them where we had parked the car. We reached and waited for them for some time. Then it was the best part of the plan to enjoy our breakfast under the Banyan tree. We took our bedsheets out to spread under the tree. But then our plan had to be changed. All of a sudden we saw a troop of monkeys and we thought it would not be a good idea to have breakfast there. Well, I won't mind sharing food with decent courteous visitors but did not want to take a risk with this rowdy troop . So, we got into the car and husband drove it. We parked the car alongside the road and the place was full of greenery..we enjoyed our breakfast of potato masala sandwich and fruits in the car. Everyone was too hungry after the hiking and trekking..we couldn't wait to reach home to have breakfast. Overall, it was a fun day Picture is of the trekking trail that my niece and I enjoyed.. Isn't it beautiful Take care in your myLot corner
