We left the guesthouse with a coffee and a smile on our faces after a nice chat with the owner, a monk. Our 30km day ahead looked bright and sunny 🌞 … until I lost my smile while climbing what felt like the looongest mountain so far 😖 Of course Bruno captured it with a selfie! At the second temple, we took the cable car up instead and met our friend Natsuko again. She stayed there while we already continued to our accommodation. Half an hour later, a running pilgrim overtook us, shouting „you’re too slow!“ 🏃‍♀️ It was Natsuko - running for her train 😅
