missian, eppan, st. pauls, gantkofel, st. michael, schlern, mendelpass, roen ~ it was sooo nice that it is difficult to decide what should i write first ... well, i'll start with the most surprising experience for me:
we are often in south tirol, you know? the most time i was looking up to gantkofel or schlern mountain, but have never been up on their tops. last year i even started a tour to gantkofel, but my accidental buddy from the hotel was so worried about the possible rain / storm, that we unfortunately turned back to our hotel at a half way. 2019 was different, my dears. in august, i managed to climb up to the gantkofel summit (1866 m) and this time i went up to the schlern (2563 m). what a feeling! after that personal achievement i was so happy that I'VE HAD NO UNFULFILLED WISHES FOR FEW WEEKS 😄.
unbelievable, isn't it? surprisingly later on there came some new wishes and perceptions, so there is still something to do for me on the planet earth. but yes, i'm still waiting and trying to change myself to achieve some kind of enlightenment, so i could enjoy the world the way it is without trying to judge / change / need / get something. we will see what happens next year when in south tyrol, won't we? 😏
