First day hiking in the Dolomites ❤️ It did not disappoint even though the Tre Cime were in the clouds ☁️. Path took us uphill (elevation gain 468m) to a stunning view for lunch. On the walk down, we went through a cow pasture and stopped at a refugio for refreshments and were treated to a live band. In total, 11 km, 20 000 steps and content hearts. We finished the afternoon at the spa before preparing for our meal with the group.

Happy to report that I have arrived safely and on schedule in Bogota for an amazing FAM with G Adventures! Today, rest, coffee ☕️ and maybe the Gold Museum. Currently sitting at a coffee shop near my hotel, Juan Valdez. A bit cliché but it’s close by, and there are locals sitting here so it can’t be that bad.

I was supposed to go to Mexico last week but that part of my trip was cancelled because of Beryl. Whenever I shared this with someone, they would almost always reply with “Won’t it be really hot?”

Not sure I get your point 😂
