Phew... from zero to 4000. That must have pulled the plug on us a bit. It actually took 4 3/4 hours for this tiny tour. Or was it just the slippery ground, the overwhelming views (sometimes reminiscent of Ireland), the amazing flora, or did someone manipulate the GPS in the end and it was actually more km and hm 🤔
