Today we walked 11.5 km on a mountain.
It took us forever to find the right path, lots of wrong turns and stairs before we finally realized the path entrance was through the dilapidated looking tea house. Once we actually found the path it was a really beautiful path for a stroll. The sun was out and we curved through and under parts of the mountain.

The highlight was the chair lift down the mountain. Mom wasn't really ready after the gondola ride up .... we had to do a pass on the first chair offered. We made it on to the second chair lift and Mom was thrilled to learn that there was a grip bar. After five solid minutes of tightly closing her eyes, she peeked open and realized we weren't actually that far off the ground. The rest of the ride was a breeze!
