Sun 🌞 Day ?

The alarm ⏰ blared to wake me up from a sound sleep and it took me a while to find my senses!

Automatically my hand picked up the mobile📱 which read 4am and then I remembered the trek ahead!

Woke my daughter up as planned and we got ready to leave home around 5am to pickup other team members and join the total team at prefixed meeting spot and to head towards the trekking destination!

The 2 hrs + drive in the cool morning hours was pleasant all the way till the foothills of "Gudibande fort" where we all took a short break before climbing those rock cut steps which were a bit challenging to find our foot!

The mind pondered on the scene some 400 years earlier when Byre Gowda and his team had managed to construct this wonder (fort) with whatever basic tools that they must have had in those years!

The scene from the peak (fort) was picturesque and the 360° view was simply breathtaking!

This trek was a unique way of celebrating a team member's birthday and we all rejoiced the day the way she wished it to be!

I was overjoyed to learn that one other member belonged to the family of my youth times "Ikon" which flooded my thoughts with the pleasent memories of the past times

We spent some relaxed moments at a cafe to fill our hungry stomachs and bid our goodbyes for the day!

Indeed this Sunday was a pleasant sunny 😎 day which cooled our heart's rather to tan our skin!

As I stepped into my home, I realised that I was already looking forward to our future treks and that this trek added more energy to my body and mind than to deplete it :)

So till yet another Sun 🌞 Day and joyful memories to share, I say goodbye for now to treks 🤠
