One of the things I wanted to do or dreaming to do was to climb mountains. To see and to feel that I am on top of the world.
Well, one day, an opportunity came when my young friend, Maria Stella, invited me to mountain climbing near her place. So I asked Rowena, another young friend to accompany us.
Actually it is only a hill located in Åfjord, Norway. The estimate terrain elevation above sea level is 345 meters.
This is the starting point.
My young tour mates: Rowena and Maria Stella.
Nice view at the starting point!
Here flows Åfjord's river where people try to catch salmons with their fishing hooks.
Look at our goal for the day!
Flower along the way...
Here I was, the grandmother ready for the climb
Pointing to the right path
signs all the way
Sara, Maria Stella's dog was with us too.
We didn't start the climbing yet
Now, on the way to their water reserve tanks
There is a cottage her, but we saw no people
The first stop. We wrote our names in the book to show that we had reached so far.
But, we had just began the climbing
As you can see, I was already up high here
We found a place to rest and to drink some water...
and take some pictures
Then we began the tough part...
higher and higher
resting again
It was overcast and it began to rain, so the view was not so clear.
Well, after using our feets and hands to climb, we reached the top.
See, I now have the mountain on the tip of my finger:)
The happy climbers!
Hurray for us!
Maria's lovemate came also. He used another way which was too much dangerous for us ladies.
Here are the views on top
We ate a little bit before descending the mountain.

Here you can see Åfjord community where Maria Stella lives
They just have to take a break..waiting for grandma...
who was busy taking pictures:)
Then at last, we arrived safe at the starting point.
Very exhausted, but happy and proud that we did it:)
Well, it was just the beginning. More mountains to explore in another time.)
How about you? Do you want to explore mountain tops too?
JOY
