Izu's World

Jeez… I’ve never thought that I can be so sweetly tired and just so full of emotions to not need to get online or turn my laptop on at all. I didn’t even check my email or Elliquiy or facebook… simply nothing. As soon as I’d get back in my room I’d just drop on the bed and watch a bit of TV before falling asleep. But to be honest, I’ve never felt better in my life and now that I’m back home I miss that place so badly… I can’t believe that tomorrow morning I’ll wake up and I will not go up in the mountains ;w;

Heh~ Anyways! I’ll tell you about the more interesting things that happened during the past few days. :]

Day 3 – The Lakes

I guess that by day 3 I was already in form because I didn’t really feel tired as we went up the mountain through the amazing nature. This time I managed to control my breathing so it was much easier and I didn’t feel dizzy or suffocating like the previous day. It was quite fun because the group was already starting to get to know each other and we were all talking, telling stories, laughing. We saw some amazing views, some magical places and the biggest mosquitoes you can ever imagine!!! And flash eating flies!!!

>.<’ There were tons of flies and mosquitoes around the lakes, and they were mean biters! I’m getting allergic reactions whenever I’m bit by a mosquito – it goes big and red, but those bites went HUGE. I got a bite on my leg and it was (still is) so big that it hurts putting a shoe or even a sock on. And the flies were literally biting our skin off! And it hurt like hell! ;.;

But it was totally worth it! I’d let them bite me all they want if I can just go there again. :]

There we go with a few pics of this place – keep in mind that this is at height around 2300-2400m, the top of those peaks, the lakes are hidden between the peaks :]














Day 4 – 2754m

Yes. That’s right. I climbed a 2754meter high peak – it was soooo hard! We’re not using ropes or anything like this – we go up the paths and then we climb the rocks like goats xD It’s extremely exhausting and just one wrong step and you can slide down with a rocks-slip and break your neck. :3

It was fun! And of course so very pretty… I’m starting to fall in love with my country!

The peak where we are heading from the starting point – that thing that is cut by the clouds.


The starting point was in the base of the peak (around 2000ish height) – a lake and a small house where we had tea afterwards :3




At some point there was no path (before the rocks to start)and we had to go up an 80-degree grassy wet slope… it was challenging!


After this picture my battery died and I couldn’t take a pic from the top ;.; But you can see what the last part looked like. And on the top you can see some lil dots – those are Julian and George who got up first in no time! And the girl is Annie – she broke her leg on the way down :(



Day 5 – Picnic

After the big peak we took a bit of break on the next day. (we still walked through the forests for maybe 10ish km) We had a picnic and we ate the most delicious meat on fire you can imagine! I don’t like eating meat, but I ate soooo much that day. It was ridiculously delicious! And we had so much fun~ :3

The meadow was in the middle of the forest surrounded by trees and mountains. Amazing place.



Day 6 – I’m a cowboy, baby xD

On Friday we went for horse riding. It was great. I got on a horse for the first time in my life and experiencing this while riding through a lovely valley… it was pure magic. But unfortunately that day I forgot my camera, so I have no pics ~_~ I’m waiting for the other people from the group to send me their pics and if I find anything good I’ll post them.

Only bad thing is that I lost my favorite sunglasses. ;.; I loved those sunglasses. And I have no idea when they had dropped off my head *had them up in my hair* But I think it was when we were galloping through the valley. But still… I don’t regret it… as this was the beginning of an amazing day. ;]

I’ll tell you about Friday night in another blog post because… well… it deserves a post of its own.

As a whole the place was amazing. I loved it there. And I do plan on going back at the end of September before the beginning of my classes. I lost 3 pounds, I got quite a few muscles and I look much fitter than before. I feel better. And I’m already deeply in love with both the mountains and working out. :)
