5.00We had a wonderful day organised by Nadia, who was an awesome tour guide. Our tour went ahead despite there only being the two of us booked in, so we ended up with a private tour. Even though the weather looked ominous, we were able to catch a jeep ride up to the starting point of the hike (the chair lift was down for maintenance, but the jeep ride was way more exciting anyway!). We managed to complete our hike before the rain set in, and then shared a nice warm meal before descending down by jeep.
