Little Mountain Walk

 Hotel breakfast was nice!

After breakfast we walked around the old street area with no people around. My sister bought some feed to feed the ducks there. 

Then we went to a mountain and an aboriginal elder and his daughter led us on a short mountain walk!

Actually we first did a lot of activity in the forest to warm up physically and mentally, he did a little ritual for the forest to bless us, and we even had a little paper-scissors-stone contest. I won a cabbage 😹😹😹😹

On the walk the elder told us about the plants and trees we passed. 

I remember nothing 

When we reached a flat area, he had us each hug a tree for three minutes and whisper our wishes to it and the forest

Our hotel that night had mineral hot spring! The water is golden yellow and has a strong smell. 

Oh yeah, after hugging trees, the elder had a few of us wear his hat and make a declaration to the forest for our wishes and blessings haha!

There's boar tusks and deer horns on the hat!

It was a nice and easy walk overall. 

Mountain air in good!

Have you done mountain walk or hike recently?
