We woke up early and had breakfast by 0845
Husband decided he want to come up a simple mountain
But first,
We are to visit the small local produce market,
Take a small walk around the village,
And visit his uncle's grave.
Im not a big mountain fan,
So I suggested to do the above except the mountain.
In the end, I ended up accompanying the husband
To go up the "simple" mountain.
Rule no 1:
-Never trust the husband's memory
Husband been up the same mountain xyz times
He assured me is the smallest and easiler mountain
There are markers to follow and a path
In the end, we managed to fall of the trail
And end up really climbing the mountain.
There was no proper path for us
we went through scrubs, trees, rocks and slopes
Halfway, I was cut on the calf and fingee by a thorn
Crazily bothered by bees and some sort of mosquitoes
flying around me and near my ears
That I wanted to give up
But realises the way backdown is as bad as how we came
And only can look forward to reach the top
Where a normal road will lead us down.
Rule no 2:
- When you are dressed for a walk,
Dont go up a mountain.
I was dressed in shorts and a tshirt
I didnt even tied up my hair
And the worst, I put perfume!
I was totally unprepared to go through scrubs and trees
And insects loving my perfume.
At one moment, I was so desparate
That I tried to use husband's smelly tshirt as a hair wrap
But decided I cant stand the smell, haha
At least, I managed to reach the top
Looking like a crazy woman
With cuts on my legs.
Rule no 3:
- Dont try to do so much, when you know grandparents are very particular about meal times.
The climb took far more time as expected
That we didnt really had time to rest on top
And even nees to do brisk walk
To be in time for lunch at 12pm
Thankfully, husband stayed calm despite my panic eps
And managed to calm me down
To survive to the top
I still got chased by few insects on the way down
But I was so glad to be on the road.
So much that I could kiss the road.
The rest of the day, I was just so tired
That I slept while husband went to the river
With sis and boyf.
The night, everyone was exploring the house
Digging old cupboards for books etcs
And we ended the day...
