Scaling Mountains in Docksta

I've been taking a whole lot of photographs lately and am falling behind with the uploading. In any case, here are photos from when we went to Docksta - climbed 2 mountains and nearly died from exhaustion on both days. It was plenty of fun though! I never thought that I'd ever scale a mountain; vertically, with all my limbs.. Hahahaha:

It was an extremely tiny town, hardly any one around. 

The cabin that the 4 of us shared!




Getting started for all the climbing :P










Pretty legit shit 




After a gruelling 2.5 hours of climbing and groping and grasping (where my life flashed before my eyes multiple times), we finally reached the top!

The view was spectacular. 



The next day we hiked for 6 hours up another mountain in the National Park. It's a UNESCO heritage site, really pretty. 





Didn't see any other humans for almost 2 hours before spotting this ice-hockey team!

This was the highest point, stopped here for phototaking and a picnic!




Started making our descent down. 

Around noon-2pm, we started seeing more and more fellow hikers, many of them had dogs!



Adorable Swedish couple that offered to drive us back to Docksta. We were extremely grateful to meet them because there was no other way for us to get down to town (we got a lift up to the park, only 15mins drive, but it would take more than 5 hours to walk back). 

Complimentary breakfast on our last morning!

Sat at the pier while waiting for our bus. 



These sweeties whipped out a birthday "cake" and card for me, totally took me by surprise! (: 




It was a pretty amazing trip; don't think I've ever felt as worn out as I felt on it, but everything was well worth it!
