OF BOTTLES WE WERE GOING TO TAKE UPHILL , WE NEED TO SHOW THE SAME WHEN WE RETURN ELSE THERE WAS A PENALTY CHARGES APPLICABLE . I THOUGHT THIS WAS A VERY GOOD IDEA AS IT WOULD DEFINITLY SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT FROM GETTING DIRTY. TREK LEVEL : EASY BUT THAT MAY BE DUE TO FACT THAT WE WERE CARYYING LESS LOAD ON OUR BACKS .

BUT THERE WERE NOT HARDLY ANY BIRDS VISIBLE FLYING , MAY BE MOST OF THEM DISAPPERED FOR REASONS UNKNOWN QUIET DISAPPOINTING. THE TREK IS ON IN FULL SWING FINALLY WE REACHED A PLACE WHERE WE CAN TAKE SOME PICS AND REJOICE . ITS ALMOST LIKE WE TOOK A BATH OOPPS CAMERA ERROR NOW IT RIGHT …. MR. ARNOLD SOMEHOW THIS TREE ATTRACTED BOTH OF US THER’S A FORT ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN SO WE ALL DECIDED TO CLIMD TILL DER AND HAVE A LOOK AT BEAUTIFUL GREENERY AROUND.
