Hiking Magura

These pictures do not do it justice.....but here is the monstrous hike I did on Sunday!
The view from Danka's apartment:Pretty flowers on the way - Spring has sprung in Martin! Little boy (Joseph, our hiking partner) playing in the water! This was the easy part of the hike: It may look like I'm on my knees taking this picture, but actually I'm just a few feet behind her!

About half way up...uh huh....this part was fun!I've been climbing for hours and I'm still not there yet!


When I finally got to the top of the monster hill shown in the previous pictures - this is what I had looming ahead of me!!There's still snow up here!!!Ahhh....and the pay off! The chalet with the beautiful view!
All in all in took close to 3 hours to get to the top (for me, Danka and Joseph could have made it in 2 1/2) and about 2 hours down. My legs the last two days have been screaming their utter contempt for my abuse of them.....but they need to get used to it cause I plan to do alot more of this! Happy hiking season everyone!
