The BEST hiking trip ever?

It’s blog time again. In other words it’s time for another trip. This time I have done things a little bit different. I’m writing my blog after I have come home. The reason for this I will come back to later.

This trip has been on my mind for a long time. Already in 2005 I wanted to go, but I ended up doing other trips (Bulgaria, Austria, round trip in southern Africa and so on). Then in 2007, when I went to Cuba, I met some girls that had done the trip and spoke about it as ”the BEST hiking trip”. So the year after I looked for the trip again and I couldn’t find it. :-( I was so disappointed. Ever since then I have looked for the trip and I was SO happy when I this year found it again.

The issue this time was that I had quit my job without having a new one. Could I really book a trip when I didn’t know my financial situation? I hesitated for the longest time, but then I finally decided that I would take the chance. I believed I afford the trip as long as I didn’t spend to much money on other things. You see - there is nothing else I rather spend money on than hiking trips. I’m not the average girl in this sense. ;-)

So I booked the trip and came happy to the office and told my colleague and friend Erika about the trip. She had told me earlier that she was out of vacation days, so I hadn’t asked her to join me, but to my big surprise she liked the sound of the trip so much so she somehow rearranged her vacation and decided to come along. YEAH!!!!

So which trip has been on my mind for such a long time? It is a hiking trip to TRANSYLVANIA. Even the name of it sounds exciting, don’t you think? For those of you who understands Swedish: here is the description of the trip: http://www.favoritresor.se/Favoritresor/Vandringsresor/Transsylvanien-1/ 

Oh, I almost forgot - I need to tell you why I didn’t blog during my trip. Well - one of the BEST things about going to Transylvania is that it is a trip back in time. There you still use a scythe (lie på svenska) to cut grass and you use horse & wagon for transportation. It is not a high-tech country. So I decided to fully enjoy ”the old days” and leave my high tech equipment (my computer) at home. The blog had to wait.

Come along for a trip to BEAUTIFUL Transylvania! :-)
