Climbing Monte Monaco and trying to survive 🇮🇹⛰️

So let’s talk about Monte Monaco.
So it’s the mountain near the place we were staying for the next four days and the place is called San Vito lo Capo.
So before we even went on a trip, I saw that people are climbing that mountainand it is not high so it’s not going to be a trouble for me and for Sanja so that’s why we chose to spend magnificent mountain. Sanja and I are Sanja and I so something must happen in the process we were again fighting for our lives. Let’s begin.

First mistake that was made is that we started climbing at 5 PM because we were thinking that because the sun goes down at 9 PM we do have a lot of time and it said that we need one hour and a half to climb so we were like we need three hours to get up and down and we have one hour to spare so it was logical for us, but we didn’t think that it is asked and that something must happen so that was the first mistake.

The second mistake is that we chose the shorter path that you clamp for one hour not hour and a half and that path is not on the Google maps so it’s not the clear path you walk so you can’t find it and we found it when we were climbing up, but we didn’t find it when we were going down because you have no clues And that was a problem we made and that’s why we actually lost ourselves when we were coming back we didn’t remember the path.

Another problem is that I got a little bit of drunk the day before and I was feeling really bad. I was nauseous all day I didn’t eat and we started our climb at 5 PM so you are climbing on the literally edge of the mountain and you’re going up so the sun is burning and I’m feeling really bad because I’m just feeling bad all day so I was getting sun on my head and I just felt so tired. I don’t know how to say in English but not dizzy but I was just;I didn’t have a strength for anything but when I drink water, I feel super nauseous because of the problem so I needed to stop in every 10 minutes to just get water on myself and find somewhere where is not sun even though we are on the edge of the mountain and the only way you find, a little bit of break from the sun is when you actually lay down on the ground and actually the flower and the grass is making for you to rest your head out of the sun and after that we did find like clear open thing so that’s where I took a big break and I ate something and then I felt much better and we were actually really close to the main bath that Leeds actually to the head of the mountain and thatcloseness was like bushes and you have other climbers leave stones so you remember the path and I remember seeing those stones but when we did try to come back, I couldn’t see any of those leg stones that climber leave the other other to talk about in a bit.

The rest of the climb was easy we made it to the top and you can see the pictures that are really nice and after that we needed to go back so remember, it’s 8 PM. The sun comes down at 9 PM and we have one hour to climb down, and that’s where thestruggles begin

So from here you can see a picture of me and Sanja just like dancing and posing. We actually started going back. We of course follow the main path that we found and after that we wanted to get into our regular short that we found and not the regular path because it clearly needs two hours and you know we wanted to get it before the sun goes down blah blah, but the problem is that we couldn’t remember the short That leads to the path and Sanja actually thought that she found out the point where we you know walked in that path but it wasn’t right and we’re just losing ourselves and the sun was going down and you can clearly see it’s not even Sunset it’s like slowly dying sunset so we were like OK. We don’t know where we going There is literally the edge so it’s not the right path and we are just losing ourselves and it’s not a panic mode but definitely OK we need to find really fast and when we decided to actually just go back to the main path so we can be safe as the priority of this walk is, where Sanja hit her leg. You can see this picture. I have no clue how you can say that in English I just can’t remember but you can see it was literally a hole in her leg and I was like oh my God we definitely didn’t need it. It was bleeding really bad so it was like OK I will go find I main path.
We are safe so we got the main path and we walked for an hour at least until we did get to the lowest point of the mountain actually where the street starts but not the street street is like the Highway, but like motorway I don’t know and it was so dark you have no lights so we were turning on the phones to light our street and we were walking in the dark for an hour and half after that point until we reached our hotel room like it was a roller coaster of emotions, but I don’t know it’s so funny because I don’t want this story to be different than what actually is even though that moment you are Scared and everything and like why why this needs to happen to us Why just we can have easy climb but I don’t know I really like this story maybe even better than if this was super easy and blah blah blah climb so yes this is the end of this fogis rest is just an easy vacation
