I’m completely exhausted after ascending a nearly vertical rock formation for nearly 20 minutes on my way back from the summit. Descending down from Europe’s highest hiking mountain already takes me a solid five hours since getting off the beaten path in thick fog at the top.

Many people explored Rome and it’s incredible history, still to be witnessed today in the famous Colosseum or Forum Romanum. I had a complete week in Italy and also traveled to the active volcano Mount Vesuvius, which destroyed the now UNESCO World Heritage declared site Pompeii nearly 2000 years ago.
Hey folks,
I just wanted to let you know why my blog is not very active at the moment: I’m currently on my 3 weeks vacation and will return to Frankfurt in 2 days after successfully climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa. I have also been on a Safari in the Serengeti Area and been chilling at the beautiful beaches of Zanzibar. Currently, I just returned from a Desert Safari in Dubai and the trip will be over very soon.
