Some villagers we met

Trekking through the villages

What an ambitious plan we had for the day. We're supposed to pass by several villages to reach Bangaan, our Tar Valon for this hiking trip. Regie, ET, Roy and even Gilbert went ahead, as if they were chased by Trollocs and Fades. For the meantime, the rest of us took our time to enjoy the views. Fellow photographers had a great time shooting pictures. We met kindred souls who sang songs, fed us and shared stories. The weather was so hot, it was like trekking through The Blight. Later, the mountains scatttered us.
