We had one last morning before we flew home. We could have found a beach, but we opted for a hike.
Do you see the tiny gold thing at the top o the peak at the right side? That is the mountain we decided to hike up!
A hike up 1, 237 steps to a temple on a hill.
Brent said the temple was called the tiger cave temple. We didn't see any real tigers so
I guess they imported these.
This is as we started the journey. The stairs to the temple were located in the middle of a huge monastery.
We got to see some wild monkeys on our way up! I have to be honest, seeing the mom carrying around her baby on her stomach was so fun. I could have watched them for hours!
The landscape around up was awesome. I kept telling Brent that we were going to be SO sweaty and there was no way we would board a plane that gross. I was correct!
Brent at the halfway mark. It was seriously a long journey.
There was a group of Japanese teens that started at the same time we did. Some beat us and others were heard throwing up over the railing. Brent was pretty appalled that this teenage girl was less able to climb the stairs than pregnant me... I thought she could have felt ill anyway. I guess we just won't know!
We are almost there! Only 237 more steps!
Finally at the top!
The golden buddha at the top!
Walking around the temple area.
Brent with Buddha.
Here are the views we got to enjoy!
It took us about 1 hour to make it to the top and about 20 to make it down. As we wandered back to get a taxi we took some fun pictures in front of the monastery Brent and I have thought about having these in front of our house! What do you think?
What a nice reflection pond.
We are seriously so grateful to our Heavenly Father for providing us with these amazing opportunities to travel and see the world.
