Mount Rinjani

I’ve done numerous hikes now, but with this Rinjani hike being my second attempt, I should know myself better. I forced myself to stand up supported by two loyal hiking poles. Rocks were in my boots poking against my sore and unwilling feet. “Let’s do this", I said to myself.

My mother couldn’t for the life of her understand why I’d put myself through “pain and suffering” after hearing about the torturous hike 3,726 metres up Indonesia’s second highest mountain.
