Sometimes those loose stones get under your shoe and make you slide, so I am quite cautious and just take my time going down.<br /><br />Once we know our arrival destination, Kevin will start work on our route and the time needed to make our way to our end destination. We only use this as a guide. This trip we had planned to go into Poland but as we traveling through the Czech Republic we knew that we wanted more time there so decided to cancel on the Poland part as we didn't want to just sail through it. We will plan on going there some other time when we can plan more time and see it properly. Once we get going he tries to plan ahead for our next one or two destinations, but sometimes we just wing it as we come across too many wonderful places and then decide to spend an extra day or two there. As for sites along the way we pretty much use the information from the internet as well as ideas from our couchsurfers as they live in the area and have knowledge of what is out there that is interesting and worthwhile. Hope that helps answer your question.<br />Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-20712829835402898442012-08-29T20:13:22.288-04:002012-08-29T20:13:22.288-04:00What incredible views on your hike.

I would be a little nervous in the rocks, (how I ended up breaking an ankle a few years back), I guess seasoned hikers like yourselves wouldn't mind. <br />I'm curious as to how far in advance you are planning all your stops, at which towns you want to travel to, what attractions you want to take in. Are you just winging it for the most part, checking things out a few days prior or did you know pretty much before you left Canada what you wanted to do? I always find that part exhausting. I would imagine you aren't packing any "Lonely Planet" guides or the sort being you are packing light so I guess it's all computer research. I think I took at least 10lbs. of books to France with us.

We were just very surprised to have seen her on a hike like that. It's not a sight you would normally see in Canada or the USA. I was very impressed to see that she was out hiking and she did have some girls hiking with her. Kudos to her!Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-63981694416143510302012-08-27T15:31:29.408-04:002012-08-27T15:31:29.408-04:00Thank you for letting us know what type of mountai...Thank you for letting us know what type of mountain goats these were.
