The Rest of the Hiking Club Trips

Me on the rock















To finish up my entry on our school’s hiking club trips, the day we hiked Baranec, we spent the night at Ziarska Chata. We played twister and another really fun game where we had to talk with a match stick in our mouth. Some of us were more successful than others, but it was still a good time! The picture above is of Ala, Domenika, Adam and me playing twister.


The next trip we went on was rock climbing, which was cold, challenging, and so fun! We took a bus to Demanovska Dolina early on a Sunday morning, and yes, I didn't go to church that day. I also learned from this experience that hiking boots are not the best shoes to use to be climbing a rock face because it makes foot placement that much more difficult! Out of the three teachers that went (minus Nadja), Terka was the most successful. Poor Adam only made two attempts, and didn’t make it to the top of one of the “runs”. Several students went on this trip, and some who didn't go on the earlier hiking trip went to this time. Nadja also brought her daughter, Terezka, who was a little trooper. Everything was supervised by one of Nadja's friends who is a climbing expert. He provided all of the equipment, set up the courses, and was monitoring in case anything should happen. It was a great time!
